Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea Flying Sub Subjugator.
  As it does every year, the Machine Intelligence Laboratory, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Florida entered an experimental submarine in the 2004 International Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Competition, an event that allows students to experience real-world design constraints and limitations.  As they originally stated on their web site, "Science Fiction fans of the 1960s may recognize the new design, as it is founded on the Flying Sub from the television series, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.  As today's cell phones mimic the communicator in Star Trek, University of Florida is opening up new areas for research for tomorrow's submarine."

The submarine was constructed from a combina-tion of composite materials and aluminum and the submarine used a Pentium 3 700MHZ embedded processing system.
