​
The team was recognized for our inquisitive nature and eagerness to learn from other teams. We asked a multitude of questions and gained valuable insights from their peers on how their teams were structured and the ins and outs of their AUVs. This superlative is a testament to our dedication and passion for robotics.
2nd Place Video at the 2019 Robosub Competition
August 04, 2019
Our focus for the creation of this video was to adhere as closely to the RoboSub 2019 theme, vampires, as possible while providing the information needed. The movie trailer style gave us the ability to introduce our team and give it a scary tone. Our team had so much fun putting this video together. Though we placed second, we were within one point of the first place video.
