Title: ROV Experts Forum
Course: SkillsCom WR 227 14.0

One of the biggest challenges of writing a technical report for the MATE competition is collecting data.

For each design rational area you are writing about, please answer the following questions. It is best if you paste the questions into your post and then insert your answers below.

1. List the name of the design rational area (i.e. propulsion, frame, buoyancy etc.)

2. Which ROV team members are working on this area? Write down first and last names and contact information (phone or email) for each team member. Hint: Now is a great time to introduce yourself to other teammates. Explain that you are on the writing team. Ask for their help and support in your work. You are doing a great favor to the team.

3. How much progress has the team made in these area? (i.e. Is this work almost complete, half way done, not even started etc.?

4. What does the team know about this area already? Write down any/all ideas that have been proposed in this area?

5. What is the ETA (estimated time of arrival) for this portion of the ROV (i.e. when does the team think they will be completely done with this part)?

Please note: You will not get credit for this forum unless Item 2 is complete. This is important because you will need to contact the experts in your writing area to get information. I do not want you to find yourself in a situation where you need information and do not have a way to contact the people who have this information.
