The student team designed and prototyped a battery-powered, autonomous, programmable underwater robotic drifter intended to seek and maintain a specified depth in the ocean, sample or retrieve data (temperature, salinity, turbidity, etc.) resurface and transmit the data, go back to depth for more data, and so on, for an extended length of time.
