Check out our introduction video for the 16th AUVSI/ONR Robosub competition.
Today we received a 1000′ gel filled, shielded Ethernet cable. After measuring out 250′ and crimping both sides we now have a new tether! Our last tether was starting to fail and was increasing our packet loss percentage.
Today we spent most of our time refining our vision algorithms. SubjuGator can consistently find pipes on the pool floor. The sub was also able to recognize the “pizza box”. Next step, install the pneumatic claw!
