I would defenitly want to compete and I know a couple more of the student want to compete as well, so we’ll see what we can do.

#3

Our maximum capacity is 24 teams. We can waive the $250 -$300 deadline and still get you in at $250. If the $250 is a problem let me know! We can work something out. We are working our underwater bot now.

By the way your bot this year is the best I have all year. Good luck and Nationals. If you can please pick us, we would love to play with you instead of against you!!!

We’re working on signing up, honest!

Did you know 3 watt LED MAG-LITEs are bright? and mostly waterproof to about 50’? and there’s a 2 AA battery model?

We’re going to try to open-source the underwater robot this year

we’ll see how it goes! Also it’s neat that you have last year’s tech reports up on the http://h2orobots.org page so other teams can get a head start.

I know you guys will be there, I just like rubbing it in.

Your site looks great! I will be checking back from time to time. Take care and see your registration email soon! Looks like a great field this year!

if this wasn’t in arizona…team 125 would DEF be there…

#7

I cann’t wait for this. Last year the competition was great, the event was very fun, and there weren’t as many teams signed up.
It can only get better this year!

#8

I am personally stoked for the event as well… I have built many robots before but this will be the first underwater robot. We received our ROV in a box last week and we are pumped to build it and then start building our actual NURC bot.

#9

I bet you’ll enjoy it a lot, that’s one capable little robot! And field testing it is very refreshing, too. :wink:

One big lesson to the new teams that we learned last year: do a thorough test of the water-proofness of your ROV before you turn it on! We managed to fry several cameras last year when we were in a hurry to drive it around…
