Pacific Nautilus Project

Since March 2005

Mesa Robotics , Society of Women Engineers - San Diego City College Chapter and Pacific Nautilus are building a new team to enter the 12th Annual International Autonomous Underwater Vehicle here (AUVSI) being held at the Navy's TRANSDEC Facility in Point Loma. In our fourth year as an organization and our third year in the competition we are attempting to place in the finals in the 2010 competition. We are redesigning, testing, and refining our Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) concept for the 2009 competition. We need your assistance to improve our standing over

our last entry in which we placed 9th out of 27 teams. This years project will entail redesigning, testing, and improving on our concepts and designs to improve upon our 9th place finish as well as adding more functionality. We will also try innovative new solutions and hull designs.

What's New

Pacific Nautilus is working with iLoveSchools and San Diego Science Alliance to increase student participation in cutting edge robotics:

iLoveSchools to raise awareness of classroom resource inequities facing America's schools and teachers.

When it comes to engaging students in technical disciplines, few activities are a bigger draw than robotics.

Pacific Nautilus featured in the Microchip Academic News Letter.

Microchip Technology has sponsored Mesa Robotics Organization and Pacific Nautilus with two DM164124 Starter Kits for preparation for the AUVSI underwater vehicle competition.

The Design/Mechanical Team has constructed the Model A Half-Scale Prototype

Lockheed Martin becomes a 2009 Platinum Sponsor by donating $5000.00 to Pacific Nautilus

We are dedicated to research centered around robotics and autonomous vehicles.

Member Organizations

Mesa Robotics Mission

The San Diego Mesa Robotics Club is a community of eager learners applying their knowledge to robotics applications through projects for competitions and research. Most of the members and affiliates are students and professionals of computer science and engineering. We have grown from a small group of students programming a simulation of a robot to several groups of people with a growing amount of resources preparing advanced robots for international competitions.
