Re: ROV Stability
Our biggest concern during our design phase is the stability of the ROV platform for manipulation operations. How easy is it to keep the ROV in one place while moving the arm and handling different objects? If you can spare the power, one way to do it is with suction cups at the end of ancillary ar...

Re: cctv
tried the thrusters with the camera on tonight. When the thusters first kick on there is a little flicker on the screen. Once the thrusters are on there is no distortion at all.

Re: my mockup ROV
Two words: Wear cotton. Three more words: No short pants. One more word: Practice. Don't breathe the fumes and remember to heat the parts THEN apply the solder (electronic solder, NOT plumber stuff!). Clean the tip often, use a wet sponge or a bundle of copper or brass shaving. 25 to 45 watts iron, ...

Re: my mockup ROV
The relay box is the plastic electrical switch box? The gasket will NOT stop water from getting in (the uneven pressure from the (only) 4 screws do not insure a continuous seal). Fill it up with wax after confirming everything works (which means, everything works even when you wiggle the whole ROV i...
