Competition time!

The International Competition is finally here, and Tachyon MK. III will be competing in the water at 11 this morning and 3:30 this afternoon at the YMCA Aquatic Center on International Drive here in Orlando.  If you can't make it out to the competition itself, you can still watch the MATE Center's live stream of the events at  http://materover.org/rov_competition_files/competition_viewer.php.

Busy times

With just two weeks to go until the competition, we're practicing as much as possible--not just the mission tasks, but also the engineering evaluation.  Below is a picture taken during practice earlier this week, with Tachyon Mk. III vertically breaching the water.
