Story

We were inspired by a youtuber Mark Rober and one of his videosabout helping with pollution in the oceans and rivers. We have had some experience with sensors and storing data by building projects such as a scaled down elevator and a scaled down self driving car but we have minimal experience with water operated vehicles and also with building machines at bigger size.

The main problem we are trying to tackle is ocean pollution, however we are also tackling other problems such as sea level rise and glacier melt by collecting data for others to use and take action with. As a result, our IoT solution is to create a device that can recognize and pick up trash floating in the ocean or any body of water while also collecting and storing data for other people to analyze and use.

Our vehicle will drive around bodies of water and collect trash. When the vehicle is full it will go to land and drop off the trash that was collected. The sensors will be attached to the vehicle that will collect data about the water that it is in. When the vehicle returns to shore, the user can record the data for further use.
