01 What we are

A student organisation that builds real machines. Every bracket, board and line of firmware here is student work.

  1. 01

    The whole stack, in-house

    Hull, boards, firmware, control and perception.

  2. 02

    It has to leave the lab

    A competition, a lake, a public road. A rendering is not a result.

  3. 03

    Engineers, not spectators

    Mechanical, electronics, embedded, control, vision and networking.

02 Projects

Three machines. One playbook.

A car, a boat, a submarine. Each one harder than the last.

Project Mobula
2027 In development

Project Mobula

A submarine that still planes, with a drone in the hull.

  • 532 nm optical uplink · 5–10 MHz
  • Drone bay with marker-guided recovery
  • Planing hull, pivoting stern control surfaces

Project Arceus-4G
2025 Built & driven

Project Arceus-4G

A remote controlled car with no range limit.

  • Custom UDP hole-punching protocol
  • Peer-to-peer through carrier-grade NAT
  • Two live camera feeds
How it works

03 Partners

Thanks to our partners.

Without them there would be no hull, no sensors and no time in the water.
