Team 2017
Team 2017 of Vortex NTNU consists of 18 students from seven different engineering disciplines across all years of study. We have learned a lot from last year's MATE-competition, and this year we will perform even better!
The Board

Control
The Control System group is responsible for developing software that makes it possible for the pilot to control the ROV in an easy, predictable, and reliable way. The responsibilities of the team include essentially all software between the inputs of the pilot, the data gathered by the sensors, and the outputs to the thrusters and manipulator arm.

Mechanical
The Mechanical group is responsible for developing a waterproof ROV frame construction. This includes 3D modeling, CFD, coordination of manufacturing, designing thrusters, customizing buoyancy elements, as well as integrating the thrusters and cameras to the overall design. The work also includes development of a capable manipulator arm, which is a critical part of the ROV - allowing us to complete the challenging tasks assigned in the competition.
