SeaFox Inventive: Technical Report

This 25-page report, published by the Mexicali Campus of CETYS University, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the SeaFox Inventive team 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.

The report begins with an abstract introducing SeaFox Initiative and their ROV. Following the abstract, the report provides an analysis of the construction of the team's ROV, highlighting the design rationale, mechanical design, electrical components, onboard software, and payloads. The report also covers troubleshooting and testing techniques, safety, logistics, and conclusions. The following appendices are included: SID (systems integration diagram) and Budget and Project Costing.

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