CHEERS OCEANEERS! September 9th, 2026

This month is about the RobotX Challenge!  Our main presentation is from Alex Szeto and Team Inspiration.

The team will discuss their RobotX preparation for the 2026 competition in Singapore.  They are pre-qualifying the drone, boat, and sub to prepare for the competition.  They will go over some of the technical details and communication approach, and they are looking for feedback from the communities.

***

Welcome to the monthly event for the IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society (OES), San Diego Chapter, which is hosting this meeting jointly along with TMA BlueTech (The Maritime Alliance), and MTS (Marine Technology Society).

Please join us for the main presentation and also plenty of time for networking and friendly conversation about everything oceanic, engineering, science, Blue Tech, and more.  No need to be an IEEE or OES member, or TMA, or MTS.  Everyone is invited.

This month, we will be at Quantum Brewing again, a cool science-themed brewery founded by a biochemist.

No ticket required, but please order something for yourself from the brewery.

Please grab a bite from a nearby restaurant, which is okay to bring into the brewery per the owner.

The food and drinks are not being funded by the hosts.  Please open your own tab.
