The MATE ROV Competition is an international engineering challenge in which teams are given a limited time window to pilot their ROVs through a series of mission-based tasks. Each year introduces a new problem scenario, requiring teams to design, test, and refine a custom underwater robot to complete tasks inspired by real ocean engineering applications. As part of this...
