Vehicle Requirements

Summer Prototyping

HydrophobeThruster Feasibility Study The team broke down the large task of building a RoboSub into two smaller projects. Several teams diligently worked throughout the summer to learn the engineering concepts necessary to build various the RoboSub subsystems.
