UweSub have successfully qualified!!!!
After an unfortunate disqualification this morning, surfacing 30 seconds after our run time ended, UweSub have managed to successfully pass through the validation gates in a controlled manner.
Our AUV, Rinzler, is not enjoying the hot weather. We have suffered some minor overheating issues inside of the main tube. We have also suffered some minor battle damage during our first run, where Rinzler went to inspect the harbour wall and got slightly close! However due to the impressive strength of our main hull, we only suffered some small scratches.
We have three more runs, and plan to make use of our sonar to attempt some of the more complex challenges. We will update our progress as we go, and as always photos are below.
