  2. 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’

  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

  4. 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

  5. Current Work Water Testing

  6. Current Work(Cont.) Water Testing

  7. 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.

  8. 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
