PVIT: Technical Report
No full textThis 25-page report, published by the Palos Verdes High School, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the Palos Verdes Institute of Technology (PVIT) team for the Ranger Class of the 2023 MATE ROV competition. MATE ROV is a global competition that challenges STEM students to build underwater ROVs to complete challenges. The competition is split into the following classes based on build complexity: Explorer, Ranger, Pioneer, Navigator, and Scout.The report begins with an abstract introducing PVIT and their ROV, followed by a discussion of project management, including company structure, scheduling and planning, and challenges. The Design rationale section provides an overview of the construction of the team's ROV, highlighting innovation, propulsion, the fish fry release box, manipulator, and more. Also covered are software and electronics, building vs buying, using new parts or reusing, testing and troubleshooting, safety, budget and cost accounting, references, and acknowledgments. The following appendices are included: Sub Team Structure, Project Schedule, PVIT 2023 Budget, PVIT 2023 Job Safety Analysis (JSA), Weight Table, and List of Tables and Figures Structure.Manuals for each competition class and technical reports from other teams are available to view separately
