MBARI Underwater Rover Simulation was a personal Unreal Engine project in which Mike recreated an underwater scientific expedition around MBARI's Doc Ricketts ROV. He shared its progress on the MikeTheTech YouTube channel in late 2020, with an 'Underwater Rover Project Update' in November and 'MBARI Project Update, Doc Ricketts ROV and Real Discoveries' in December, plus a project page on his website the same month. The footage shows the yellow rover model in the editor and the view from the rover as it moves through a lit underwater scene, with Mike narrating on webcam.
