What’s unique about our team:

We have members from two countries (USA and Canada). Because of LSSU’s close location to the Canadian border about 20% of the students are Canadian. Our team is working on incorporating a robotic gripper within the ROV. We will require a variety of motors and operating voltages (4v, 6v, and 12v) in order for the system to function properly. The power distribution and control systems are our team’s biggest hurdle.
