Milligan Robotics: Technical Report

This 62-page report, published by Milligan College, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the Milligan Robotics team for the Telepresence 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 Milligan Robotics and their ROV, followed by a discussion of project management. After that, the report goes into depth on the ROV's design, covering the design philosophy, mechanical design, and electrical design. Each part used to build the ROV is highlighted, providing an overview of its function, price, and other important information regarding the part.

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