ROV team members, Gavin McKenzie, Gregor Young, John Stewart and Martin Thompson, have been building a submersible remote operated vehicle sponsored by Marinetech.org and administered by MATE (Marine Advanced Technology Education Centre). The Scottish Regional heat was on 12 March hosted by Robert Gordon University. The project is sponsored locally by BP and Opito (Oil & Gas Academy). A week before the competition they used St Andrews School swimming pool to test the vehicle. During the final, the team undertook practical challenges using the ROV in the water. Team members all had specific tasks to fulfil during the pool activities. The team came third, a bonus since they were newcomers and all the other schools had competed before. They gained £200 to encourage future developments.
