Each team must submit a TDR outlining their design principles, competition priorities, and chosen autonomy challenge tasks. The report should explain how these tasks influenced the design of the hull, propulsion, control, and autonomy systems.

Our technical team has been working tirelessly, day and night, to perfect this year's Technical Design Report (TDR). Learning from the mistakes of last year, we've stepped up our game, delivering a comprehensive report spanning over 90 pages. This detailed explanation is crafted to give you deeper insights into our project and showcase the dedication behind every aspect of our work.

Teams are required to create a website that showcases their name, contact information, vehicle media, supporting content (such as videos, procedures, design documents, and blogs), and sponsor logos. The website should be visually appealing, user-friendly, and primarily in English (or provide a translation option). It must emphasize key content, feature search functionality, adhere to modern design principles, ensure accessibility for all users, and be compatible with current browsers and mobile devices.

This year, we have simplified our website to enhance navigation and align with our latest Graphic Standard Manual. Our website development and social branding teams have been working on this since the conclusion of last year's Roboboat competition to deliver an improved online presence.

Teams must create a video introducing their members and showcasing their unique mission and culture. This video serves as a creative "elevator pitch" to attract potential funding or support.

From brainstorming concepts to meeting the judges' criteria, creating our video required creativity and teamwork. We spent hours capturing behind-the-scenes moments, testing vehicles, and showcasing our team's dedication. The magic came during editing, blending visuals, music, and narration to craft an authentic, engaging story. Late nights fine-tuning every detail ensured the video met technical standards and resonated emotionally.

Teams must present their design strategy to a panel of expert judges, outlining their approach to the Autonomy Challenge. The presentation should include a brief description of the team's strategic vision and explain how the vehicle design aligns with their goals and addresses the task requirements.

Team members should be present to answer technical questions posed by the judges during this inspection and be prepared to explain their design strategy and how decisions made impacts on the technical design, functionality, and craftsmanship.
