Here’s our progress so far…

A Long Overdue Update
I thought a quick update on the teams progress was far overdue. Now that most of the team has returned from co-op, we are able to get right back into things and improve the submarine for the next competition.
As far as the submarine is concerned we are planning on overhauling the majority of the internal systems, including the gearbox and drive train, steering system, and the emergency buoy. While we’re working on all of this, we also have a 4th year capstone team working a on the design of a new hull.

SUBC at IMAGINE Day
With the school year once again starting that means that another IMAGINE Day has come to pass at UBC. SUBC held a booth with Skookumchuck, our ISR 11 entry from this past summer. There was lots of interest in the submarine and it was great to be able to show off our finished product.
