What we’re responsible for:

  • Programming the ROV to move and function
  • Developing a strategy for the MATE ROV competition
  • Implementing creative solutions to complex problems

What we use:

  • Our main language is C++/Arduino
  • Git is where our code is housed
  • We use OpenCV for many projects

For anyone interested in the field of robotics programming, even with no experience, this is the division you need!

January 2023 Computing

Our computing division is now working on three major projects for this year’s competition: manipulator control, photogrammetry, and float communications. The first group’s goal is to overhaul our programs for controlling ROV manipulators to make them as precise and easy to use as possible, which will be very important for Read more…
