The mechanical division has finished selecting all the components for the AC and DC drive stations, and orders for almost all of them have been placed. As soon as the components come in, we will be finalizing the plans and assembling them. We’ve also placed orders for the material to make the SS&T Iowa’s frame, and will be beginning water jet machining of those parts as soon as the materials come in. Right now, mechanical division members are either working on designing a tether spool for competition or a new set of manipulators for the ROVs.
