This Forum has been set up to allow for discussion between all parties interested in or involved with the development of equipment to meet the design requirements of the Divetrack competition.
The Forum is open to contributions from all regardless of whether or not you are planning on entering the competition but it would be most helpful if contibutions can focus on discussions specific to Divetrack and not diverge into other delvelopments?
For information the competition was launched with the information below.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Divetrack Competition
Launched, in memory of the loss of Penny Glover and Jacques Phillipe, at the Dive Show 2006, NEC Birmingham, by Penny's sister Fiona this competition is in memory of her two great loves: diving and engineering.
Her family and friends want to develop something to help divers keep in contact and to ensure that families of missing divers do not have to endure the pain that comes with waiting for news if someone goes missing. The development of a 'Locating Device' for divers would go a long way towards meeting these aims.
The Competition
To develop and manufacture a simple, easy to use and inexpensive device that ensures divers and others who have gone missing can easily be found.
A prize of £5,000 will be awarded to the winning design
The competition is supported by the IET (www.theiet.org) and BSAC (www.bsac.com). There is no limit on team numbers and may be particularly suitable for student projects.
How do I get involved?
