As the first event of its kind to
be held in the UK, the Student Autonomous Underwater Challenge Europe
(SAUC-E) proved a huge success.
Seven university teams competed at the state-of-the-art underwater
stage at Pinewood Studios (www.pinewoodshepperton.com)
with vehicles they had designed and built themselves.
Several days of practice and qualifying culminated in the final competition
where the teams were challenged to complete a number of tasks in the
underwater environment.
