2. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF MISSION
2.1 The team of contestants have to design and build a remote operative vehicle (ROV) or an
autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). ROV and AUV are separate categories.
2.2 The mission involves the picking up of as many objects (cargoes, one at a time) from the
middle section of the tank and dropping them in baskets at either ends of the tank. At
the end of each run the number of objects in each basket ideally should be equal. For
both ROV and AUV, each pair (one in each basket) gets four (4) points and remaining
unpaired objects in the basket get one point each. For AUV’s, they shall be awarded
double the points for ROV’s, as well as a bonus of two (2) points on condition that the
robot(s) deliver(s) at least one (1) object into the basket.
2.3 While doing so they would have to maneuver through window frames which will be non
magnetic on either sides of the tank.
