Previous2.8 Marine LifeNextConstruction Tips

Last updated 8 months ago

The Sensors used at the International SeaPerch Challenge are made from red and blue PVC pipe. This is not required for regional competitions. Painting the pipe or applying high visibility tape will help with visibility if colored PCV pipe is not used. The sensors are color coded to indicate the sensing location in the mission course. The red sensor is to be placed on the Deep Dive platform and the blue sensor is to be placed on the main platform. Regional competitions may use a different color scheme.

Maximum weights of each Sensor: In air = 40 grams In water = 8 grams
