MATE International ROV Competition - United States


Astronauts train using a full scale mock up of the International Space Station in this pool at
NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Lab, which is one of the sites used for the MATE International ROV Competition.


The Marine Advanced Technology Education" program was conceived as a means to leverage marine technology to inspire students. One of the multifaceted elements of the program are regional ROV competitions that culminate at the annual International MATE ROV Competition. I have had the opportunity to volunteer as a judge at several of these competitions and have offered input on the scoring methodology that has been incorporated into the rules.
