Competition Overview Design Constraints System Overview Approach, Tradeoff Analysis, & Progress Timeline OVERVIEW
Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) Remote Operated Vehicles (ROV) competition Top level of competition Mission tasks involve: Equipment installation, repair, and replacement Design and installation of a transmissometer Removal of biofouling WHAT IS MATE & THE 2013 EXPLORER CLASS? [3]
NameDescription Operating Power The MSU SeaMATE ROV must operate at 50.8V +/- 0.3V with a maximum current draw of 40A. Distance Sensor The MSU SeaMATE ROV must be able to read the distance of certain objects in the competition course. Payload Capacity The MSU SeaMATE ROV must be able to pick up and maneuver a 10 Newton payload. Video Capability The MSU SeaMATE ROV must have at least one camera with a range of 3m or greater. Tethered Communication The MSU SeaMATE ROV must send information from the vehicle to the controller and laptop via a tether with a minimum length of 18m. TECHNICAL CONSTRAINTS
TypeNameDescription Health/SafetySafety The MSU SeaMATE ROV is designed to keep the users safe. Environmental Environment Preservation The design takes into account the surroundings of its working environment. PRACTICAL CONSTRAINTS [3]
Measures of safety taken into consideration: 40A fuse on tether REQUIRED Extremely thorough waterproofing on all cable connections HEALTH/SAFETY [4]
Area of operation: Swimming Pool ROV is designed to not damage the mission props or environment in any way ROV is designed to have slightly more than neutral buoyancy ROV will float to surface for easy retrieval in event of control system malfunction ENVIRONMENTAL [5]
