A CAD drawing of our sub for the 2009 competition is above right. SubjuGator is an autonomous underwater vehicle designed and built by students of the Machine Intelligence Lab (MIL) at the University of Florida. Since the Association for Unmanned Vehicles Systems International (AUVSI) underwater competitions started in 1998, SubjuGator has been there, placing in the top 3 seven times, including first place in 2005, 2006, and in 2007.

SubjuGator 6b (shown above right) is an updated version of our sixth autonomous submarine.
