MATE ROV Detachable Float Subsystem
Mechanical design work for the Stony Brook Robotics Team MATE ROV, focused on a detachable float subsystem intended to separate from the ROV and descend to a target depth during 2026 mission tasks.

Engineering focus
- Contributed mechanical design work for a detachable float subsystem in SolidWorks, balancing separation reliability, depth-control constraints, mounting geometry, and manufacturability for the 2026 MATE ROV mission.
- Converted subsystem requirements into CAD revisions, mounting constraints, and build-ready updates to support fabrication, integration, and mission reliability.
- Coordinated float design around competition mission requirements, depth-control constraints, subsystem separation, and manufacturable mounting geometry.
