To create an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) that will perform competition tasks in a cost efficient and timely manner to ensure gaining maximum points in the competition. Also to gain points in all other aspects of the competition such as poster, website design and implementation. To achieve this so as to benefit all stakeholders including future classes, current classes and all those listed in the stakeholder section of this document. The AUV should be able to complete four tasks in an underwater environment, hitting a buoy, dropping markers into designated boxes, travel through a vent structure, and grabbing a bag before surfacing in a designated octagonal area. Effectively schedule a roster of who does what and when they do it. In order for successful completion of all tasks, managers, leaders and other support positions must be appointed to ensure the teams work in a cohesive and structured manner. All work carried out will be documented extensively to ensure easy interpretation of past work. The overall designs for each subsystem must be easily interchangeable to account for design changes as well as future competition rule changes.

We are going to be building an automated submarine that has to be able to complete various underwater tasks in a competition setting. The objective at hand will be to navigate along a path and interacting with a slot machine (floating Buoy), a black jack table (drop markers into bins), be able to safely pass through an air duct, and to retrieve a bag of cash before surfacing. It will be essential to abide by all the rules and regulations while keeping in mind that we have to represent our school in a respectable manner. Our overall design should be user friendly and simple so that any future classes will be able to build upon it later. What is most important will be our overall performance as a group both inside and outside the competition.

There are several jobs that need to be accomplished in order to have a successful AUV project. First, the AUV must complete multiple tasks underwater while following the rules and regulations of the competition. Second, the AUV needs to meet weight and size requirements set by the competition committee. Furthermore, appropriate signs and banners need to be provided along with applicable documentation of the AUV. Lastly, probably the most important job of the project would be time and resource management.
