Homebuilt ROVs Forum

thanks sounds like a good plan

i was wondering what type of rov i should build. i want it to have a working depth of 50 ft i want to have 100 feet of tether. i want to pick up objects like trash off the bottom what type of rov will i need. it needs to be portable :

you could use a dc moter with a servo horn and a push rod but it might not work

that looks great. I like the size of it. what type of thrusters are you useing.

What are you guys using for navigation. I need to put some sort of navigation in my rov what do you think I should use. My ROV is a sea fox. :

if you where to use batteries for power you should probable use lipos because you will get a longer run time. but if you use batteries it will in cress weight.

what are you going to use to control your ROV?

what type of thrusters are you using for your ROV? :

good point you would never get satellite under water

i think the max depth with a bilge pump would be 50ft i think the pressure of the water would break or slow down the bilge pump after 50ft.

how many volts does it run off.
