Meet our 2025 RoboSubs

Our 2025 RoboSub system consists of two Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (AUV): Onyx and Graey

6 Years, 6 Opportunities to Inspire

Our sixth season in RoboSub marks an exciting new chapter in our journey as we welcome new members from Middle School, High School, and Universities. By uniting students across educational levels and backgrounds, we are building a vibrant, collaborative team where everyone has the opportunity to learn, share, innovate, and inspire!
