No radio-control is allowed during competition.<\/p>\n<p>The eight-member team of graduate and undergraduate students based this year&#8217;s design on lessons learned from the two previous competitions. The team built the boat from scratch, including the lightweight fiberglass hulls.The current design, according to team notes, &#8220;is faster, stronger and more agile than previous years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Actual construction of Boatname the Brave began in late January. The craft was finally ready for launch in March. Club members continued building and testing components right up to the deadline for travel to Virginian Beach.<\/p>\n<p>Team members are Chris Bunty (team leader; electrical engineering), Johathan Mohlenhoff (electrical engineering), Travis Goldberg (mechanical engineering), Kiran Bernard (electrical engineering), Ross Kerley (electrical engineering), Mike Podel (electrical engineering), Nick Yielding (electrical engineering), Brian Valentino (computer science), Gary Stein (robotics advisor; computer engineering) and Daniel Barber (academic advisor; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/modeling-simulation\/\">modeling &amp; simulation<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the 3rd ASVC, including videos and a list of the competing universities, go to http:\/\/bit.ly\/3rdASVC. The contest finals will stream live on Sunday, June 13, beginning at 1:00 pm EDT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"麻豆原创 Robotics Club are set to challenge a dozen other universities in the AUVSI autonomous surface vehicle competition.
