Potentia

2017-2018
       Speed, power, and maneuverability are a few words that describe Potentia. This amazing ROV was designed and built completely from scratch by Altum Operations. The brains of this ROV are an Arduino and a Raspberry Pi programmed to work together to remotely control the machine. These control boards were kept safe inside the ROV's watertight enclosure. Potentia was powered by three Blue Robotics T-100 motors which provided its speed and lift capabilities. One of the main features about this ROV is the fact that it does not have a bulky frame, keeping it light and maneuverable. The two pieces that hold this machine together are custom designed and 3d printed PLA mounts, making the components very light. The two skids on the bottom were made from reused furniture grade PVC pipe. Potentia competed in the Ranger level of the MATE Monterey Regional ROV Competition, taking 3rd place overall!
