International Qualifier - Benold 404 Not Found
International Qualifier (wild card) - Georgetown High School Axolotls
The goal of the competition was to complete an obstacle and mission course with their Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) and pick up and move sunken and floating trash. The teams also had to complete other various tasks, like unarming a mine. Students began building their ROVs early in the school year and have been testing their work in preparation for competition since January/February.
The students were also interviewed by Navy judges and had to submit a technical design report for review.
Congratulations to the GISD competition winners!
