Aggie Marine Robotics

The Aggie Marine Robotics team developed a simple strategy for this year at the AUVSI Robosub competition, with the three main goals of increasing testing time, being capable of the qualification maneuver, and redefining the team’s appearance and structure. We met these goals by developing a series of testing rigs, each one was designed to accomplish these three main goals and to score higher than any previous appearance made by USU at the Robosub competition. Our final rig SEAHORSE is the result of our efforts to design a simple adjustable vehicle with custom designed electronics and thruster controls.

The Seahorse class submarines were focused on testing and improvement. To meet these goals the team implemented a series of test-rigs ending with their most capable submarine of all time, SEAHORSE. These testing vehicles have left the team with a clear path forward for the next year's AUV.
