For the third year running, a team of Masters-level students from a wide variety of engineering disciplines have taken on the challenge of designing and building a human powered submarine to compete in the 2016 International Submarine Race. Teams will be judged on the merit of their design, manufacture and lessons learned as well as awards for outright speed, agility and innovation. 2016 marks the third year that “Warwick Sub” have entered the race, and the second year running that Big Bear have sponsored and manufactured the nose cone, which last year achieved special mention thanks to the clarity of the moulding.

Both nose cones were moulded on one of Big Bear’s rotary vacuum-forming machines using clear 8mm polycarbonate sheet.
