TECHNICAL DESIGN REPORT: Kraken ROV_“> Seaperch 1. ABSTRACT This Technical Design Report highlights the Engineering Design Process (EDP) Team Kraken used to create the Kraken Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) and the successful design features. This report will review the challenge course, obstacle course, new mini course tasks and how they influenced the team’s engineering design approach. Analysis of experimental results included in the report demonstrate how detailed testing was used to decide on the final design. Additionally, the report describes the team’s reflection of the SeaPerch journey to this point and future plans for the Team Kraken ROV design and team members. The Kraken ROV is extremely unique and stands out in the SeaPerch community because of the following design features: * Modular Frame Vehicle (MFV): The frame is 3D designed and manufactured as multiple parts. This enables easy interchange of frame parts for design improvements or rapid repairs. + Adjustable Buoyancy/Trim: Test tubes, travel bottles, and 3D printed buoyancy caps that can be interchanged are used to adjust buoyancy between positive, negative, or neutral. The buoyancy bottles also move easily forward or backwards to adjust the ROVs trim (Bowditch N. 2002). This enables quick adjustments based on the complex tasks the course contains. © Ultralight Design: The frame is 3D printed and weighs 1.12 ounces to provide maximum thrust to mass ratio (Wing, Charlie, 2004, 2007) for peak ROV speed. The frame itself is also buoyant. Gripper: The ROV gripper is used to lock mines or trash in place to prevent dropping items. Innovative Parts: The ROV forklift used for the beacon tasks is reversable to shorten the ROV and make it more maneuverable through the obstacle course. The servo and other parts can also be stored onboard the ROV to reduce drag. © Brightly Colored: A variety of bright colors are used on the ROV to easily identify components and orientation underwater. 2. TASK OVERVIEW The pool challenge consists of four tasks. By following the EDP, Team Kraken is able to successfully navigate the challenges in the time limits required to achieve maximum points on all tasks. © Challenge Course Beacon- Requires turing arming device to deactivate the mine or remove the arming device for full points. 3D printed forks are designed and manufactured with a curved recess to cradle the beacon. * Challenge Course Vault- Requires turning a lever arm to open a vault to reach the sunken trash/mines. Later, a mine is placed on the same lever arm to allow returning the vault to the closed position, The fork discussed above turns the vault well and does not require any redesign. © Challenge Course Sunken Trash/Mines- Requires the ROV to pick up and transport bottles, balls, and a can, drop them through the vault and onto the platform below. The fork was redesigned to sit ‘on the bottom of the platform to easily scoop up the sunken items. Because items on the fork would fall off, the gripper is designed to lock items in place. © Challenge Course Floating Trash- Requires moving trash under or over a floating ring. This was the toughest design challenge Team Kraken experienced. Originally the gripper was used to hold the items while the horizontal motors pulled the trash under the ring. This worked well with the full challenge course because it maintained control of the items during transport to the pool deck. When the mini course was released, a bulldozer attachment was added to push the items over the ring, therefore increasing speed for the task. © Obstacle Course (Removed 2021)- Requires diving, surfacing, and travelling through five vertical and horizontal hoops in the least time possible. Team Kraken’s enhanced hydrodynamics (Lucas J., 2014), motor improvements, and ultra-light frame resulted in an obstacle course run of 26 seconds.

DESIGN APPROACH ‘Team Kraken consistently approaches the EDP with detailed techniques focused on innovation for each design iteration. ASK- The first step of the EDP is to survey tasks and ask what improvements are needed to complete the course most efficiently. ‘Team Kraken identifies the following questions with each design iteration: How can the ROV’s speed be maximized? How can buoyancy (OpenStax College, 2013) be adjusted for different situations? How can items be lifted and transported? IMAGINE-Team Kraken brainstorms ways to solve the questions from the first stage of the EDP with these priorities: 1) Improve attachments for the challenge course. 2) Reduce frame size and drag (Wing, Charlie, 2004, 2007). 3)_ Increase motor Revolutions Per Minute (RPMs) (Kemp, Peter, 2005). PLAN- Team Kraken creates a plan for each design feature imagined. The plans include drawings, materials, building techniques and testing methods. CREATE- After planning the improvements, Team Kraken transitions into a building/testing phase for each iteration. The team tests each improvement so informed design decisions can be made. IMPROVE- Test results for design iterations are analyzed and final decisions are made, Sometimes this involves considering design tradeoff’ such as the additional capability of grabbing and locking sunken items vs the additional weight added to the ROV. KRAKEN 1.0- The standard SeaPerch frame was built to establish a baseline. Because the frame was so stable, Team Kraken decided to base the next design on it but make it smaller. Pros: Very stable and easy to drive. Cons: Slow, sluggish maneuverability (Moore S.W., 2010). Frame Weight: 16.24 oz. Speed: 1.20 FT/SEC KRAKEN 2.0- Mirrored the SeaPerch frame but built using Chlorinated Poly Vinyl Chloride (CPVC) and Cross-Linked Polyethylene (PEX) pipe to reduce frame size. This design verified that speed increases as size and weight are reduced. It was stable and maneuverable, but the team decided to redesign to test how improving hydrodynamics (Lucas J., 2014) effects ROV performance. Pros: Easy to navigate hoops course. Cons: Dives slowly. Frame Weight: 8.18 oz. Speed: 1.34 FT/SEC KRAKEN 3.0- Built with a pointed front, this design iteration validated that improved hydrodynamics increases speed. However, the ROV was hard to control when diving and surfacing. The team believed the control issue was based on motor location and center of buoyancy so the ROV was redesigned to adjust these factors. Pros: Increased speed Cons: Difficult to control Frame Weight: 5.46 02. Speed: 1.66 FT/SEC KRAKEN 4.0- Shortened the ROV frame and moved the vertical motor forward. This design justified that reducing size and drag increases speed and motor location affects ROV control. Most importantly, this iteration identified a need to redesign with lighter materials to improve ROV performance. Pros: Increased stability and maneuverability. Cons: Overall performance limited by material. Frame Weight: 4.5 02. Speed: 1.76 FI/SEC Fig. 1- EDP Diagram Kraken — page 2 TECHNICAL DESIGN REPORT: Kraken ROV "> Seaperch KRAKEN 5.0- 3D printed the ROV frame to reduce ROV weight. Pros: Increased stability (Wing, Charlie, 2004, 2007). Cons: Long build/print times. Frame Weight: 3 07. Speed: 1.82 FT/SEC This design showed symmetry improved ROV stability and control (Wing, Charlie, 2004, 2007). 3D printing provided flexibility, but the six-hour print times caused delays with redesigns or repairs. KRAKEN 6.0- A 3-part frame design to reduce 3D print times. Pros: Increased speed, quick 3D printing times. Cons: Difficult to see, weak frame strength. Frame Weight: 1.70 oz. Speed: 2.04 FT/SEC This design was called the Modular Frame Vehicle (MFV) because itis made of small interchangeable parts. This feature reduced print time by more than 50% for repairs. The ROV performed well but when the servo gripper was added, it reduced hydrodynamics. KRAKEN 7.0- A single bottle MFV designed to reduce drag. Pros: Increased speed, improved lifting power. Cons: Slower turning, poor stability on the surface. Frame Weight: 1.34 0z. Speed: 2.20 FT/SEC The buoyancy attachment was changed from two bottles to one, which reduced drag. The vertical motor was also inverted to face down, which provided more thrust to pick up items and reduced surface ripple. Although the ROV was fast and could complete the challenges, it was redesigned to improve ROV stability and control. KRAKEN 8.0 (FINAL DESIGN)- A three small bottle MFV design with the servo behind the vertical motor to further improve lifting capability and hydrodynamics. Pros: Stable ROV, stowable servo. Cons: Time consuming to stow servo. Frame Weight: 1.12 02. Speed: 2.78 FT/SEC FINAL DESIGN DISCUSSION/FEATURES The new frame allows the servo to be stowed behind the vertical motor to reduce drag for the obstacle course. Adding a servo gripper was the most difficult design feature on the ROV. Despite the added weight (1.95 oz.) and drag on the ROV, the increased capability provided makes it necessary. Additionally, having the servo control from the pool deck with the line tender improves Team Kraken’s poolside teamwork and communication. Alll the improvements combine to make Team Kraken’s most innovative ROV. Additional unique features include: Fig. 6- Kraken 7.0 Adjustable Buoyancy Enables quick change of Balbo. asi RON git oucganey: of floating trash.

EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS Speed Test: For Team Kraken’ the most important ROV design S0FT POOL SPEED TEST factor is speed. The team conducts in-water testing of each ROY with three runs of 50 feet for each ROV design. Then the team calculates each ROVs speed in FT/SEC. Figure 9 demonstrates as the ROV sizelweight is reduced, thrust to mass ratio and ROV speed increases.

Fig. 9 SOFT Pool Speed Test wuzonne eee su 8 RPM Test: RPMs establish a good measure of motor performance and the [il team uses a digital tachometer to measure RPMs of motors. Team _ Kraken’s observations include: ‘* Higher battery voltage produces higher RPMs. The team standard is to test and only use batteries above 13 Volts. ‘¢ RPMs range from 10,500 to 11,600 on new motors. Having right and left motors with equal RPMs help the ROV drive straight, ‘* Decreasing electrical resistance increases current (Moore S.W., 2010) to the motor. Team Kraken utilizes solid CAT 5 wire instead of stranded, doubles up CAT 5 wires fiom the RJ-45 connector to the positive motor terminals and reduces cable length from SOft to 15ft. These modifications, on average, reduce resistance from 1.8 Ohms to 0.8 Ohms and increase RPMs from 11,500 to 12,400. Drag Test: With a dedicated focus on improving hydrodynamics, the team /"%- 10- Digital Tachometer tests ROV drag. After completing a drag test (Moore S.W., 2010) using spring scales for ROV design iterations the team confirms that forward surface area on the ROV directly affects ROV drag and correlates to ROV speed. Utilizing the EDP Team Kraken creates thinner ROV designs, reduces use of zip ties, and curves forward facing surface areas on all design reiterations. Additionally, to further evaluate the effect of drag compared to ROV speed, the team measures forward-facing surface area, The standard SeaPerch ROV is 179.7cm? and the final design Kraken 8 is 55.1cm?. Overall surface area was reduced by 69.4% and speed increased by 131.6%. As surface area drag is reduced, speed increases. However, motor improvements on design iterations make it impossible to calculate an accurate ratio of drag vs speed increase. Prop Test: A 50-foot pool speed test of propellors is conducted to analyze performance of various propellers. Testing includes the standard SeaPerch, 3 bladed, 4 bladed, and 3D printed propellers. Testing evaluation demonstrates the standard SeaPerch propeller provides maximum speed. Functionality Test: To verify ROV functionality a full mockup of the challenge course including the beacon, floating trash, sunken trash, and mines is used. The course provides the ability to test the gripper, forks, and redesign as necessary to improve the ROVs ability to complete all tasks.

REFLECTION AND NEXT STEPS The EDP steps below are key to the innovations applied to the Kraken ROV: «© Ask- First, the course was built and tested with each ROV. This enables the team to take note of all the requirements that each design is not meeting. Once the team identifies imperfections, the following questions are raised: How can ROV speed be improved? How can motor performance be increased? How are challenges navigated? ‘* Imagine- When imagining and brainstorming, Team Kraken’s coaches challenged them to use different materials and to not rule out any idea until it was attempted. This led to innovations in 3D design, motor improvements, and the creation of the Kraken gripper. * Plan- The team had to research and plan for materials, timelines, and new innovations. This EDP step helps the team be more prepared. + Create- Building and constructing each ROV and its parts is the most time-consuming step. This step led to creation of the MFV which decreases the ROV manufacturing, repairs, and redesign time. * Improve- According to Team Kraken, the most important part of the EDP is to improve. Bight different ROV design iterations were constructed and each time the team assessed how they worked and ways they could be improved. Each design iteration went through additional adjustments for its attachments. In the end, the EDP led Team Kraken to success in previous years and continues to help as they push towards their goals. ‘Teams Future Plans: Team Kraken’s members will be going to high school next year. The team hopes they can come together and compete in the 2022 International SeaPerch competition open class. ‘* Research RoboSub and SeaMate and possibly compete in the nearby regionals ‘* Return to Mayport Middle School club to teach everything the team has leamed to new 6" graders and club members so the Kraken legacy can continue. ROV Future Plans: ‘* Team Kraken built a capable open class ROV. One of the biggest problems is how big the controller is, which makes it difficult to hold. In the future, plans are to 3D print a controller that is easier to hold and operate. They intend to try different types of controllers by printing circuit boards and/or coding an Arduino microcontroller 0 joysticks can be used to control the ROV. © Continue working on open class ROV innovations including adding a camera, because ‘one of the biggest challenges Team Kraken faced is identifying the ROVs proximity to objects prior to picking them up. * Team Kraken plans to continue to improve the ROV’s speed to get under 20 seconds on the obstacle course by adding an additional booster motor. Lessons Learned: Team Kraken leamed many valuable lessons and it has been a lot of hard work. The ‘most valuable lesson learned is that failure is the best teacher. An untimely propellor detachment during 2019 internationals taught them that failures happen but true engineers can reduce them. Most importantly, failing to reach their goal at the last Internationals taught them that ROVs can always be improved, and suecess comes with hard work.

We are truly fortunate to be able to compete in this challenge and have this experience. First, we want to say thank you to all our amazing coaches. They helped us get through all the challenges that we faced through the years and taught us a lot about robotics. Mr. Hudson, who started the robotics program at our school, has helped supply us with new materials to try for our ROV. He also showed us many things that helped us when designing our ROV. Another coach that helped us a lot along the way was Mr. Shanklin who helped us stay organized, helped with supplies, and really pushed us to get the work done. We could not have done this without him, Mr. Felice is our final coach and our ROV would be completely different without him. Mr. Felice taught us 3D design and printing. Thanks again to all our amazing coaches, we don’t know where we would be without them. Sponsors are also super important to our team. Without them we would not have been able to afford materials and transportation, we literally would not have been able to be here without them. Our sponsors are TIAA bank, Worlds Finest Chocolate, and parents who donated to the club. With the help of our sponsors, we were able to travel and compete in the 2019 International SeaPerch challenge. Last year, Worlds Finest Chocolate helped us set up a fundraiser to sell candy bars to ea money for registration to the competition. Thanks to all our sponsors and everyone who helped donate to our club. Last, but certainly not least, we would like to thank all the parents of the club, They help with transportation, by driving us to practice every Thursday and Saturday.
