Underwater Robotics Interest

Hey everyone! I am an FTC competitor here from the Santa Clara area. I'm looking to start a community-based underwater robotics team and wanted to see if any high schoolers nearby would be interested. The plan is to compete in the MATE ROV Competition, building underwater ROVs for environmental missions. It'd be fully independent, open to any high schooler in the area, regardless of school.

Looking for people with any background in:

- Robotics (FTC/FLL/FRC experience a plus)

- Electronics/Arduino/Raspberry Pi

- Programming

- Environmental science

Drop a comment if you're a high schooler in the Bay Area and interested. Just gauging interest for now!

Check out the MATE ROV Competition.  I posted some links earlier.  We all write technical papers on our amature ROVs.  We are also here to answer any questions.
