Phoenix Robotics is a company currently employing nine students who attend Brooks DeBartolo Collegiate High School, in Tampa, Florida. The members of Phoenix Robotics focus on the advancement of technology within the field of mechanics, engineering, and programming. The company is made up of determined members striving to raise awareness about marine pollution and create innovative solutions to global problems that are affordable and practical in the form of remotely operated vehicles (ROVs).

The companys ROV is the Phoenix Ocean Explorer (POE) that maintains the health of ecosystems inhabiting Earth’s oceans through technology that has been carefully selected and customized. This includes the use of bidirectional brushless motors controlled by specialized software. The ROV utilizes a dual camera system, integrating analog and digital cameras in harmony, providing multiple perspectives, and the ability to model structures underwater. One claw system is mounted on the POE, facilitating the completion of a variety of tasks. Phoenix Robotics designed the ROV to be cost-effective while maintaining efficiency to aid in the effort to clean Earth’s oceans, allowing the POE to complete


The POE is the result of countless hours of hard work, dedication, and teamwork. Phoenix Robotics is confident in its abilities to excel in using the POE to perform the necessary tasks with ease. Phoenix Robotics is committed to continuously breaking the barriers of innovation and environmental stewardship, and is dedicated to making a positive impact on ocean life through cutting-edge technology
