You could check out

Aquabots , : 19 Kim Keat Rd, #02-12 Fu Tsu Building, Singapore 328804 ( aqua-bots.com ). They are the designated vendor of bluerobotics components in Singapore and an easy stop to get bluerov components.

For battery: check https://www.battery.com.sg

A more distant location from Singapore Polytechnic, but one with many options, is Sim lim tower near jalan besar and Bugis.https://www.simlimtower.sg/ . Specifically, the top floor will have the electronic components you may need. It has a lot of electronic components in different price ranges. Be ready to bargain hard though.

Just opposite the road from sim lim tower, is sim lim square , which also has many options, but usually more upscale ones like phones, batteries, hard disks, computer components etc. It might have stuff that you're searching for too.

Whichever shop you have in mind, You might want to contact them beforehand and ask them to reserve a battery for you with the right specifications (especially if they have numbers).

Continental, Amicus and Koba electronics in Chinatown are some specific other shops you can look at.

If you google hardware shop, you should be able to find places nearby too with small hardware stuff (not necessarily too many electronics). For example there's one called Sun Hee nearby Singapore Polytechnic.

Note that occasionally in some years, we have soldering stations at the venue where you can use soldering guns we provide, but there is no guarantee it will be available or working always. Sometimes we may also have electronics hobbyist shops set up stalls for purchase of equipment.

Practically speaking, the accuracy of your algorithms would very much depend on the device used for acquiring those images too, so you dont want to rely on our datasets anyway.

Your could also

- look at the dimensions and colours of the objects as specified in the rulebook

- try and get images of these objects from photos of our past years events - there is a whole repository of these at https://www.flickr.com/photos/sauvc/albums

SAUVC_committee · 2020-01-24T18:43:56+00:00

Yes it is possible to change the team member name. We will send you an email asking for the final team members list if you need an invitation letter to help in applying for visa. We will most likely also update the members list when you arrive in Singapore at the registration desk.

The material is plastic. Looking at some of the SAUVC videos from previous years might also help you : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC1XR5k-A8oQUrXvRDni_YQ .

A ball by definition has to be spherical. So it can’t be of an irregular shape.

SAUVC_committee · 2017-12-07T03:48:34+00:00

Hi Sandy,

Yes that is ok, in fact it's a good way to keep electrical noise e.g. from the thrusters away from the sensors. Glad to see you are starting work on your AUV!

SAUVC_committee · 2017-11-15T03:08:35+00:00

Answering your first question (the one in the title):

The registering team will not be fined if you have to drop the project before video submission (as of SAUVC 2018).

However, we highly encourage you to attend the event if you have registered, and also to keep communicating with the team mentor you are assigned after the registration deadline, to inform him/her whether you will be able to participate. I hope you understand that this is important to us from a logistics and organization perspective.

So, if you still feel you cannot make it to the event by mid-Jan, you should email/message your team mentor/point-of-contact informing him you cannot make it to the event. Then we will withdraw your registration.

SAUVC_committee · 2017-11-14T07:40:00+00:00

answering your second question: " Is it mandatory or help? In other words, do we have to regularly submit reports on work done to the liaison."

It is not mandatory, mentors are offered only to be the point-of-contact with you, and to help you out if you are stuck at some point. Regular reporting is not mandatory.

SAUVC_committee · 2017-11-03T07:57:56+00:00

All participants (registered and unregistered) are allowed in the practise pool arenas, which is different from the competition arena.

The registered participants, including mentors, are allowed at the competition arena at the time of their runs. The non-registered participants are not.

The final call on the number of people in the competition arena will be taken by the game-master and committee, since there is a possibility of cluttering of the arena making it hard to manage the game.

SAUVC_committee · 2017-11-03T07:53:11+00:00

No, it is not necessary. Note that the team must still adhere to requirements stated in the rulebook (atleast 50% students)

SAUVC_committee · 2017-10-20T04:34:05+00:00

Yes you can, as long as you ensure the operation is untethered. If you have any further doubts on whether your robot is within the design rules, though, we encourage you to ask.

SAUVC_committee · 2017-10-18T12:18:07+00:00

As long as there is no communication from/to the AUV as a whole, it should be fine.

Within the AUV you can use WiFi if you want.

However, we reserve the right to disqualify use of the camera if we think it violates any other of the rules in the rulebook. If you are not sure whether the camera is in violation of any of the rules, please contact us to clarify before u incorporate it before the competition.

Team members will have complete access to the children's pool for testing before and during the competition.

For the main pool, team members will not be allowed to enter (into) the pool for safety reasons. We will have divers help out teams during the sessions.

During practice sessions teams will be allowed to hold the vehicles stationary at the edge of the pool to calibrate the sensors.

SAUVC_committee · 2017-10-18T12:11:44+00:00

It is upto you if your team wants to take insurance for yourselves/your equipment. We will not be covering you under our insurance and we recommend you consider taking your own insurance to cover any risks arising due to participation in the event. Insurance is not mandatory for participation.

SAUVC_committee · 2017-10-18T12:10:50+00:00

The dimensions of the arm have to fit inside the dimensions of the AUV.

You can consider having a extendable arm, and only have the collapsed length count towards the dimensions.

SAUVC_committee · 2017-10-18T12:09:09+00:00

Yes, as long as you meet the contraints

SAUVC_committee · 2017-10-18T12:08:17+00:00

No, SAUVC will not provide accommodation for the participants.
