BOB ROV
Design Purpose
BOB ROV was conceived as a general deep sea underwater platform, allowing operations at 500 meter depths. A modular design will allow BOB ROV to be outfitted with tools for roles such as exploration, sea bed sampling, infrastructure installation and repair.
All In House
All of our components are designed and manufactured in-house out of MVTHS Engineering Shop in Medford, MA.
Custom Pressure Vessel
BOB ROV features an aluminum pressure vessel designed to withstand deep-sea conditions of up to 500m with a 3x safety factor.
Aluminum Endcaps
Machined aluminum endcaps are used to seal the pressure vessel ensuring maximum flexibility in our design.
Custom Electronics
Every board, down to the motor driver is designed, optimized, and assembled for our most precise design.
Accomplishments
We have competed in several MATE ROV competitions, including regionals and world championships.
