TecXotic: Technical Report

This 25-page report, published by Tecnológico de Monterrey, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the TecXotic team for the Explorer Class of the 2022 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 TecXotic and their ROV. Following the abstract is an analysis of the construction of the team's ROV, discussing the design rationale, mechanics, electronics, software, software tooling, and non-ROV devices. The report also covers safety, company organization and assignments, testing and troubleshooting, conclusions, and references.

Manuals for each competition class and technical reports from other teams are available to view separately.
