Please click on this link to review some options we are considering for NJ Seaperch based on recommendations received from Nationals.
Please respond to haidy.oliveira@navy.mil if you are interested in participating in any virtual events. Based on responses I receive, I will work on a possible event in the coming months
2 Underwater Events
1. The Obstacle Course tests high-speed maneuverability and requires your SeaPerch to navigate the course as quickly as possible. The SeaPerch operator must develop the skill to turn and adjust the vertical position (dive or ascend) while driving in full or near full speed and must also be able to quickly reverse the SeaPerch to make corrections if it is off course. Please note: there is no guarantee of the position of the obstacle course hoops at competitions, so operators should not try to memorize actions such as in playing a video game but should instead practice a variety of general high-speed maneuvers.
2. The Mission Course incorporates a mission that teams must complete with their SeaPerch related to a particular real-world application. Mission courses test various skills including ability to lift, move, manuever, and develop innovative solutions to a technical challenge
NJ Seaperch will be following Nationals competition and as more information becomes available it will be posted here
NJ will have High School and Middle School Competitions at the Advanced, Intermediate and Beginner Levels with 1st and 2nd place awards at all levels to give more teams a chance to be recognized. Top team in the Advanced Level will move on to Nationals. We will not be separating Stock and Open Class this year for awards
