Trailmen will take the ferry to the Dauphin Island SeaLab, where they'll build their own remotely operated vehicle (ROV). They will test their design and driving skills by deploying the ROVs in the Sea Lab swimming pool.

From Dauphin Island SeaLab:

In this class, students learn about new and exciting technology that scientists use to study the ocean, especially the deep sea. After an engaging presentation on ocean bathymetry, the Gulf of Mexico and the deep sea, and a brief introduction to design principles, student teams build their own remotely operated vehicle (ROV). They will test their design and driving skills by deploying the ROVs in the Sea Lab swimming pool.
