Local Marina Project
Local Marina Project
Mapping waterways using Sonar.
Inspection of waterways with a customized ROV (remotely operated vehicle).
Surveillance and Inspection.
After winning 3rd place in the 2021 Waterway Cleanup Challenge, the local Port director asked us if we could help out inspecting pilings at the local Marina and determine the depth of the water. We attached a compass and underwater camera to our existing ROV to record underwater activity and to permit real-time observation by the team on the dock. With this set-up we were able to inspect the pilings to make sure the bases were stable, as well as check for a possible oil leak.
Marina depths ranged from 2 feet (dark red) at the entrance to the marina to nearly 12 feet (yellow) at the Southeast corner. Excursions displayed out towards the river channel show depths of 40 feet. Pool level was assumed to be greater than 3 feet.
The data was gathered by a Humminbird Helix 7 Mega SI GPS Ge fishfinder sonar and plotted with the Humminbird AutoChart Pro program.
Robotics Class: A prototype of the micro-ROV that students will learn how to assemble and operate is shown.

Boys and Girls Club of the Lewis Clark Valley:
We have been involved in monthly STEM-night activities at the local B&G Club. Team members have done projects with them such as using cabbage juice as pH indicator, constructing light up circuits and mini flashlights, and building Vibrating Motor Bots.
The team would like to do a class where students would build a miniature R.O.V. like the one shown to the left. While this is still in early stages of planning, it is something the team thinks would be fun for the kids.
