Stingray: Technical Report

This 25-page report, from the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport (AASTMT), describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the Stingray team at AASTMT for the Explorer 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.

This report begins with an abstract that introduces the Stingray team and their ROV Wall-E. The design rationale section provides an analysis of the construction of the team's ROV, discussing the mechanical components, pneumatics, software, tools, and more. Safety, testing and troubleshooting, and logistics are also covered. A software flowchart, safety checklist, and other appendices are included.

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