The Challenge

Challenges

Challenge: Maneuvering 
- It tries to emulate an AUV exploring the ocean in different terrains
- Go through hoops
- It seems like an easy task if we can keep the ROV under control
- We need steady movement forward and backwards
- +1pt per hoop (up to two points per hoop if you can back through)
- 1st Place: +3pts
- 2nd Place: +2pts 
- 3rd Place: +1pt
- Max time: 3 minutes

Challenge: Coral Reef restoration
- Replicates moving coral around
- Move coral from one place to another
- We think it will be difficult to put a clamp on that will be able to grab the coral
- We will tackle this by looking up how to add a clamp and how to control it
- +1pts per specimen moved to the correct area
- Max time: 4 minutes

Challenge: Specimen Collection
- collect schworoctopuses from the benthic realm
- +2pts per specimen collected
- This may prove challenging as we need a good clamp to grab each specimen
- We will have to make sure our ROV is capable of picking up different size items 
- Max time: 4 minutes

- Pick up cap
