MTL Horizon: Technical Report
No full textThis 25-page report, from Mount Laurel Library (MTL), describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the MTL Horizon 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 MTL Horizon and their ROV followed by a discussion of project management, scheduling, planning, and the use of collaborative workspaces. The design rationale section provides an overview of the design and construction of the team's ROV, highlighting innovation, problem solving, systems approach, vehicle structure, vehicle systems, control/electrical system. Also covered is safety (ROV safety features, safety procedures, etc.), critical analysis (testing and troubleshooting techniques, vehicle testing methodology, etc.), budget and project costing, acknowledgments, and references. A systems integration diagram (SID) is included.Manuals for each competition class and technical reports from other teams are available to view separately
