Hackley ROV Students Shine at Regional SeaPerch Competition

A team of Hackley’s dedicated ROV students showcased their resilience and engineering prowess at the recent NY/NJ Regional SeaPerch competition. Facing numerous obstacles, including multiple rewirings of the control box and last-minute thruster replacements, the team demonstrated exceptional teamwork and tenacity.

In only their second year competing in SeaPerch, the team showed marked improvements in their ROV design, which led to enhanced driving capabilities and more reliable control operations. The team also earned commendation from the safety and compliance officer for their innovative approach to the ROV controller and their excellent electrical work.
 
Our students growth as both engineers and team members is commendable. With this years learnings, they are set to refine their designs further and return even stronger next year. Congratulations to our Hornets on their impressive achievements and spirit!
