Homebuilt ROVs Forum

Roar: Welcome to the ship!

I just bought it myself. Wish i had a more versible frame so i can add manipulator e.t.c but for now a stick works fine Cant wait to test it in the water doh! Just finishing up on it.

Hey. Love your idea! Gonna steam a couple of ideas for my own RPI ROV. Here is my design so far: http://explorov.tjweb.no Also gonna make it a "community" project as soon as i get it started. Just need to learn a bit more of NODE and stuff like that. I want to make my project by having two...

Thanks a lot. I cant say enough that i _want_ it to fit my whole ROV. So it needs to be around thoose sizes, getting a propane tank or simular with thoose dimmensions might be hard so thats why i ask about using metal sheets making it a square is also much easier, cheaper and simpler to "transp...

Hi People :) I'm thinking about building an pressure chamber, and I'm thinking steel plates! My pressure chamber will be 100x65x45cm and i want it to tolerate 10 bars. As of me, I'm a developer, programmer, electronics guy. "Manly Man Steel Plates" is not up my alley. So I have to get some...

Found a 160mm pipe (5 meters) for 80 bucks. Can tolerate up to 10 bar. PVC tubing, but dont know enough to know how to add caps and add pressure relif valves e.t.c so hoped someone had a diy for something simulare.

My house have 3 bar pressure so don't think that will work. the openrov chamber is a little small. Need to fit my whole hull inside it. So more than 110 circle and 1 meter length

Hi. I'm onto the idea of making my own depth testing chamber for down to 100 meters ( 10 bar ). Now, i want to make a pressure tube with a see through glass, an adjustable relief valve (5bar, 10bar). Now are there ANY idea on where to start? I mean, i got a 2.5bar water pump i can hook up to a water...

Got mine a few days ago. 6 of them for my ROV. Just finished flashing ESC's and it worked like charm. I got the 20A ESC. Thought about it.. How the heck can i cool down 6 ESC's inside of a 110mm tubing with 4 5A batteries.. Well. Love the thrusters so far. Printing mountingbrackets for my ROV later ...

Hello People! I'm a Norwegian making an Hobby ROV and have gotten pretty far in planning. I got one problem, i cant make decisions! I got lots of ideas and stuff. I would like to find someone to "team up with" where we could pretty much make the "same" ROV. I'm using the T100 Thr...

Is there a possibility for you to make thrusters on demand? Or is that too much work? I really want a lathe to make my thrusters! hehe.
