The national SeaPerch challenge was inspired by the rescue of the young lads of a Thai soccer team, who were exploring the cave when unexpected heavy rains came and flooded their way back out. The challenge involves building a submersible Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV)
This summer, club member Tom Tosh worked with students from nearby Brumby Elementary School to develop an entry, using the club swimming pool as a test tank for the ROV trials.
