The Armada
To pillage and plunder...with Robots
Business Team
The objective of the business team is to promote and represent the Robosub team. This includes managing social media accounts, drafting purchasing orders, taking care of logistics of the project and trip, and presenting the technical report. We take care of business. Business is our business, and business is good.
Mechanical Team
As mechanical team members we are responsible for the overall design of the submarine and every physical component. This includes but is not limited to engineering the frame, placement of thrusters and encasing all electronics in a water tight hull. We make sure the submarine doesn’t fall apart before or during the competition.
Electrical Team
Water and electricity don’t mix. Thus building and maintaining all electrical systems on a underwater drone takes a special kind bravery. Every watt, volt and amp is carefully controlled and monitored by us. We design, build and secure all system critical connections.
Programming Team
The programming team is in charge of developing the custom AI, communications and debugging systems. Based on an easy to understand open source .NET architecture, we keep in mind future generations of programmers so they will be able to more easily understand code and learn from it.
Setting Course
1. Create necessary prototypes and final competition ready drone capable of successfully completing all challenges in the 2016 competition.
2. Build from small prototype to final design. Each version increasing in complexity and capability.
3. Systematically increase testing to advance the design of the drone and expose any potential problems prior to competition.
4. Build ourselves as individuals and gain experience working on a complex team project.
5. Extend our knowledge and lessons learned to future generations through outreach events and detailed documentation.
