<p>For SAUVC 2024, there is a bonus round with a single task called Oceanic Navigation. This was created to allow teams allow teams to experience the challenges of operating in an oceanic environment. The bonus round will be held in the <ahref="https://www.tcoms.sg/">TCOMS Ocean Basin</a>, a cutting edge facility for testing and developing marine technology. The basin is located at the <ahref="https://www.nus.edu.sg/">National University of Singapore</a>.</p>
<p>Since the basin is a research facility, and the area is not open to the public, only a small number of the team members will be allowed to enter the basin. The rest of the SAUVC participants will have to watch the attempt from the viewing gallery. Details on the number of team members allowed to enter the basin will be released at a later date.</p>
