Deep Dive Dragon: Technical Report

This 21-page report, provided by Xi'an JiaoTong University, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the Deep Dive Dragon 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 Deep Dive Dragon and their ROV. Following the abstract is the product introduction section, which provides rationale around the ROV's design and introduces the ROV in greater depth. The report then covers the overall design scheme, project management, a detailed design scheme, mission specific ROV implements, team analysis, safety, acknowledgments, and references. The following appendices are included: Proposed Budget, Cost Projection, Operation and Construction Safety Checklist, and Electronics Troubleshooting Checklist.

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