The competition offers students a hands-on educational tool that builds teamwork and problem solving skills. Students presented an engineering poster of their projects and entered their ROVs in a timed aquatic finesse and obstacle course. Winning teams will participate in the National SeaPerch Challenge at Georgia Tech in May.
