===Facilities Data here===
===Campus and Facilities===
Olympic College and Washington State University-Bremerton share an expansive campus, with an adequate project space and secure storage yard for large maritime vessels. The Kitsap peninsula is surrounded by water on all sides, and has eight public boat launches within 8.5 miles, the closest being less than three blocks from the shared OC/WSU buildings. Some of the team members have access to Keyport Naval Base 3d Printing innovation lab resources available for use, as well as OC having additive manufacturing capabilities. Olympic College specializes in training the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard workforce of tomorrow, consequently the campus has a robust Welding and Machine Shop capable of precision machining.
===Exploitation for Outreach===
With a rigorous test schedule, and clearly defined test milestones (see the project Gantt in the summary section), the OCRobotX team will utilize Social Media, the local press, and Navy Region Support, to leverage every Maritime Test and Evaluation (MT&E) evolution as a public fundraising/awareness event, as well as a continuous recruitment tool for College Sophomores, Freshmen, and Highschool-College Running-Start Juniors and Seniors.
===Test and Evaluation Responsibility===
Test, Evaluation and Performance considerations are managed by a dedicated senior team position titled ‘Marine Science: Subsystems Integrator’ (‘Systems Integrator’ embedded document in summary for more detail), This position will be filled by one of the most experienced and motivated students, relying on expert mentorship and advice from Naval Scientists, Engineers, and University Advisors. This individual is held accountable for the ‘Integrated Design, Build and Test Plan’. Industry best practice shows that projects with an integration plan have a higher degree of success. This type of plan defines the stages of integration, during which system elements are successively integrated to form higher level elements, and eventually the finished RobotX platform. The integration plan includes descriptions of the required teams, test standards, testing methods, and integration schedule.
