Our responsibility for the Mission 2005 Project was to design Robots to explore Deep Sea Vent Fields from a Manned Habitat on the bottom of the Sea Floor. Definitely one of the most exciting branches of the project, check out our vehicle ideas!

In this section you can see the different areas we had to consider and research in the designing of our Vehicles. The pages discuss topics and competing technologies at greater depth than in the Robot descriptions.

Background
It took us an entire Semester to research and design these Robots (and this website). Take a look at what or whom inspired us and our thoughts along the way.

Mission 2005
Our Robots are part of a larger Project called Mission 2005. Fourty MIT freshman were told to design an Underwater Research Station on the bottom of the ocean near the Edmond Vent System in the Indian Ocean. We've broken into ten groups of four to complete the mission. You've met us, now meet the other groups.
