o SCINI is a small, slender vehicle that is capable of fitting through small areas of ice.
o SCINI is also capable of going deep down to the ocean floors and takes photographical evidence of what the ocean floor has to show.
What is SCINI?

o The Project SCINI participants wanted to create SCINI because they were very curious to see what discoveries they could find under the Polar regions.
o This was started in 2007.
Why SCINI?

o The participants science goal was to finish the lost experiments that were started in 1990.
o The lost experiments were effects of predation.
o Predation:o Their educational goal was to get students
interested in what is under the Polar regions. o Their engineering goal was to navigate a
slender robot to take pictures of the ocean floor.

What Were Their Goals?

o SCINI is 15 inches wide and the hole the SCINI team drills for SCINI’s departure is 20 inches wide.
o To make this hole the team uses a Jiffy Drill that can drill 7 meters in just twenty minutes .
How big is SCINI?

o SCINI can go about 20 feet into solid ice sheets.
o In Antarctica, when passing the Ross ice shelf SCINI goes about 800 feet.
How deep can SCINI go?

o When SCINI is in the Polar regions she mostly looks for things you wouldn’t normally find under the Pacific ocean.
o For example SCINI tries to find volcano sponges or Octocorals.
What does SCINI look for?

SCINI finds her way around the Polar regions by using a laser that helps guide her in the right direction to take the pictures.
How does SCINI find her way around?

Some of the features are thruster couples, floatation's, and micro tunnel thrusters.
What are some of SCINI's external features?

In a few years from now SCINI’s overall appearance will change.
Some of these changes include Counter rotating propellers, a gripper manulator, multi-beam sonar.
The future of SCINI

Thank you to the SCINI team for keeping their websites updated on what SCINI has been up to.
Thank you to Bob Zook for giving me a lot of helpful information on SCINI throughout this whole project.
