Electronics and Robotics III Curriculum

Introduction:

The course follows the MATE Center's book “Underwater Robotics – Science Design and Fabrication,” an excellent book for the design, fabrication, and operation of Remotely Operated Vehicles ROVs. See: http://www.marinetech.org/underwater_robotics/

The students build a small Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) in stages as they progress through the course. A competition is held for the students at the end of the course.

A partial parts list for the ROV is available at: http://cornerstonerobotics.org/curriculum/lessons_year3/rov_parts_list.pdf

Note: 17 of the 29 lessons are completed; a new lesson will be posted approximately every three weeks.
