Description

Come watch ECST freshmen put their creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills to the test in this exciting, fast-paced Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Challenge!

Friday, December 5, 2025
Starts at 9:00 AM
Campus Pool

Teams of ENGR 1500 students have spent weeks designing, building, and fine-tuning their ROVs. Now it’s time to put them in the water and see which machine can:

  • Racing across the pool in the shortest time
  • Driving in a straight line
  • Making a smooth turn at the end
  • Moving along the bottom of the pool
  • Cruising on the surface

This is a chance to cheer on classmates, see what freshmen build, and celebrate hard work. The energy is fun, the competition friendly, and the ROVs full of surprises!
