S.O.N.I.A (Système d’Opération Nautique Intelligent et Autonome) is a scientific club from École de Technologie Supérieure in Montreal, QC, which has been designing and manufacturing autonomous submarines for 24 years. S.O.N.I.A was founded in 1999 and its members have designed a total of 8 autonomous submarines since. The club is made up of students from programs in mechanics, electrical, automated production and software. Currently, S.O.N.I.A has supported two prototypes (AUV7 and AUV8). Moreover, S.O.N.I.A is an undergraduate student association and as such, we believe in harmonious team work and that knowledge is best acquired through hands-on experience. Our goal is to offer an educational environment for everyone whose desire is to learn and we strongly believe in the advancement of robotics.

Helix Charter High School

Scottie Subs

La Mesa, California, USA

As the first underwater robotics team in the history of our school, our aim is to provide opportunities in engineering for underrepresented students and those who cannot always afford the necessary supplies to pursue their passion in engineering. Since our school has a majority Hispanic population we have a deep connection with teamwork and cooperation. We understand the value and importance of hard work and commitment, which is why we are competing in Robosub. Robosub is a challenging and unique competition which all our team members find interesting. We all are thrilled with an opportunity that can push us to learn new knowledge and new opportunities. Overall, Scottie Subs is a first year team who is ready to put in the hard work, have effective cooperation, and compete in Robosub this year!
