W.A.R BOAT
Many thanks to Duke Energy for sponsoring us and helping us achieve so much. War Quality Autonomous Robot Boat (W.A.R Boat) is a self-sustaining semi-autonomous electrical and computer engineering project. W.A.R utilizes a mounted solar panel to recharge lithium ion batteries which power the entire system. A total of three batteries power the system, two for the printed circuit board and one for the motor. Autonomous motion is achieved through GPS guidance to a user selected waypoint. W.A.R is also outfitted with various water quality sensors and is capable of wirelessly transmitting data from the sensors to an on shore laptop.
