Hull Design v2: Lessons from Last Year
DesignA complete redesign of our hull based on hydrodynamic analysis and competition feedback. We reduced drag by 30% while improving internal component access.
Pool Test Session: March 2025
TestingFirst in-water test of the new vehicle. Validated basic thruster control, depth hold, and leak-free operation at 3 meters.
Pool Test Session: May 2025
TestingSecond pool test focused on autonomous gate navigation and PID tuning. Achieved 4 hours of water time across two sessions.
Simulation vs. Reality: Validating Our Gazebo Environment
TestingComparing simulation predictions against real pool test data to calibrate our Gazebo environment for more accurate pre-competition testing.
Electrical System Architecture
DesignDocumenting our power distribution, custom PCB stack, and sensor integration approach for the 2025-2026 vehicle.
Building Our Autonomy Stack
BuildHow we built our computer vision pipeline, state machine, and PID controllers for autonomous underwater navigation.
