The ocean water is a frigid 10c.

There is a loose oil container floating 100 meters off the coast that needs to be returned to dock. If this container leaks it will harm the sea life in the ocean and contaminate the fish that we eat from these waters. There have been sharks sightings so it would not be wise to go into the water. Your team has to recover this item from the water in 2 minutes. Design and construct an underwater ROV (remotely operated vehicle) using the kits provided. On Thursday your team will test your underwater ROV at the Hampton YMCA pool. Make sure you can explain: How it works How it was constructed The parts and their functions Why ROVs are needed Problems you had and your solutions What you would do improve the performance of the ROV
