From the Mission Scope, you‟ll learn exactly what is required of your ROV…what mission tasks it must perform, in what sequence and in how much time. You‟ll also learn from the Mission Scope what your limitations are in terms of the size or electrical power allowed for your robot; the equipment you can, must or should not use, the number of people who are allowed to operate the robot, and a number of other rules. These rules are very specific and are used to make the competition a level playing field for all teams.
