MATE’s ROV competitions – DIVE IN!!!
The MATE ROV competition web pages and information are migrating to ROVER (ROV Education and Resources). ROVER is being developed by the MATE Center with funding from the National Science Foundation. It is a web site packed with great information and resources to help you navigate the waters of the MATE competition and discover and learn more about ROVs and other underwater robots. Clicking on the 2011 competition information below will send you on your journey to ROVER. Welcome – and good luck! |
The MATE Center coordinates an international student ROV competition and a network of 20 regional ROV contests that take place across U.S. and in Canada, Hong Kong, and Scotland. Student teams from middle schools, high schools, home schools, community colleges, and universities participate in the events, which consist of different “classes” that vary depending on the sophistication of the ROVs and the mission requirements.
In addition to being fun and educational, these competitions connect students and educators with employers and working professionals from marine industries, highlight marine-related career opportunities, and promote the development of technical, problem solving, critical thinking, and teamwork skills.
