What Makes Us Different

Quality

Enclosures Labeling


We labeled each enclosure by craving it's name on its cover to make it easier while installing them

Wiring holes Labeling


We labeled each hole in each container by a number and created a wiring table to illustrate how these holes will be connected together and make it easier while connecting

Factory Manufactured PCBs


We picked laser routing in manufacturing all our PCBs to make sure its quality is as high as possible.

Agile Software Development


Internally as a team, we sticked to the agile principles of development with Bi-Weekly sprints each having its planning, retro, standups and status meetings. (Online)

Product-like Software Documenting


Internally as a software team, we dealed with the AUV as a product so, we documented each phase in a professional way using Full System Architectures, Sub-Module Diagrams, Sequence Diagrams, Module Requirements specifications, UML Class diagrams and Full requirements document.

Wall Of Fame

Partners & Sponsors


Vortex would like to express gratitude to everyone who has supported us along SWIFTโ€™s journey. Without their assistance, Vortex would not have been able to compete in Robosub 2021.
