6th Annual International ROV Competition for Students
In recognition of the International Polar Year (IPY), the 2007 international ROV competition challenges students to design and build ROVs for operation in the polar environments. The competition also challenges students to increase their understanding of Polar Regions and how these regions impact – and are being impacted by – our global climate. Located ~2,100 km south of the Arctic Circle, St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada is the ideal host city. The facilities at the Marine Institute of Memorial University and the National Research Council’s Institute for Ocean Technology where the underwater missions will be staged allow the competition to simulate real-world environmental conditions like it has never before.
