St. Louis School Team Wins at Robotics Competition

Clarksville, Maryland – The St. Louis School Aqua Knights robotics team won first place for Product Presentation, second place for Robot Demonstration and second place overall at the Marine Advance Technology Education (MATE) ROV competition held at Villanova earlier this month. The student-built Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) included a camera, a LEGO claw, a control box equipped with a fuse and 3D printed motor covers.

The Aqua Knights are in a select group of competitors, being one of just 35 teams and the only team from Maryland. Other teams hail from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, DC, Virginia, New York and Ontario, Canada.

“The MATE Center uses underwater robots – also known as remotely operated vehicles or ROVs – to teach science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) and prepare students for technical careers.”
