Nine of the 12 students on the Academy’s underwater robotics team MUREX attended the 2024 MATE ROV World Championship in June in Tennessee.
This photo of the team’s interview in the broadcast zone was taken just after the robot completed its run. Its goal was to complete as many tasks as possible, scoring points based on difficulty, during the allotted 15 minutes.
“We faced countless hardships along the way,” says team captain Byran Huang ’25. “Gaping leaks in the electronics enclosures, 3D-print structures cracking under load while underwater, half-decade-old bugs in code and more. Throughout all of this, we stayed true to Exeter’s values. Most important to us is non sibi. Everything we make is open source and free to the world. Our team comes from eight different countries, bringing in unique backgrounds and youth from every quarter. And, of course, by sharing our knowledge with everybody, we share the school’s belief in knowledge and goodness.”
