History of the ROVCase Study

• 1953: Dimitri Rebikoff’s innovation of the “POODLE”

• 1961: U.S. NAVY’s development of the “CURV”

• 1974: U.S. NAVY’s development of the “SNOOPY”

• 1993: Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology developed, “Kaikō”

Results

• Bottles leaked, hydraulics failed, and was too noisy.

• Retrieved a lost atomic bomb off the coast of Palomares, Spain in 1966.

• First portable small-size observation ROV.

• World’s deepest diving ROV at 35,791 feet (10,909 meters).

COMPETITION:

• Three categories: Explorer, Ranger, and Scout.• International Explorer competition involves one

mission that consist of four task.

2013 EXPLORER TASK:

• Complete a primary node and install a secondary node.• Design, construct, and install a transmissiometer to

measure turbidity over time.• Replace an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) on

mid-water column mooring platform.• Remove biofouling from structures and instruments within

the observatory.
