Purpose
To enter into an international competition against other universities. We must build an autonomous unmanned boat to navigate a course and complete sub-mission tasks. Within certain guidelines Above water (not sub-marine) Must weigh < 140 lbs Within dimensions 6’ x 3’ x 3’
Main Mission Tasks&
Sub-mission Tasks
Main Mission Tasks Strength Test Speed Test Maneuvering Test
Sub-Mission Tasks Amphibious
landing Find the fire
and extinguish it
Find and report the hot target
Turn off the waterfall
Previous Work (last semester)
Boat frame construction Modular Design, Movable Components
Motors Design 2 Motors (optimal thrust, easy maneuvering)
Pontoons 2 Pontoons for maximum stability
Electrical Box Battery choice, box components Camera Mounting
Current Work
Water Testing
Current Work(Cont.)
Water Testing
Current Problems
Electrical Box Not water proof, incorrectly rated fuses, poor wiring
(wires slip off)
Frame / Motors Frame poorly measured (needs to be squared) Motors not securely locked (are able to rotate while
running)
Pontoons Current pontoons give barely enough buoyancy and
there is still weight to be added.
To Do List
Lock Motors in place
Fix Wiring
Make a cart to transport the boat and to lower the boat into the water (required by competition)
Water proof electrical box
Test GPS and Compass
Test Kinect Cameras
