MATE Competition Philosophy
The MATE ROV competition is about student learning.
It is designed to be an event that challenges students to apply the physics, math, electronics, and
engineering skills they are learning in the classroom to solving problems from the marine workplace.
Mentors (teachers, parents, working professionals) are expected to limit their input to educational
and inspirational roles and encouraged to focus on the benefits of the learning process and not simply
on “winning” the competition.
