Our project, the Socto-eel, is a safety submarine that consists of many parts: the inflatable "head" of the submarine, the shape of the submarine, which is an octopus, and the claw that claws onto the octopus. This project could help advance the way we can save others because of the mechanics of the claw, which is to fight against strong currents by clawing onto rocks. The octopus submarine uses jet prepulsion.
To build this project, we uses cardboard and cut thin lines into it, which allowed the cardboard to fold. Because there weren't any balloons to use for the "head" of the ship that can inflate, we left it open. For the claw, we used strings that moved the different sides of the claw inward. We also used carboard for this mechanism. Then, to connect the claw and the submarine, we used a string.
We hope that different countries and different states can use our mechanism in the future generations in order to save deep sea divers with our deep sea bot, the Socto-eel.
