The competition is split into the following classes based on build complexity: Explorer, Ranger, Pioneer, Navigator, and Scout.

The report begins with an abstract that introduces SeaFox Inventive and their ROV. Following the abstract is an analysis of the construction of the team's ROV, including the design rationale, design process, mechanical design, electrical components, software, and payloads. The report also discusses safety, troubleshooting and testing techniques, logistics, and conclusions.
