Update: have recently progressed in the mock up of my sub and purchased the motors and escs listed. My next worry is designing a good ballast system. Im thinking of using a small inner tube of some sort for an air pump to move air in and out of the main hull to a donut-like ballast.Any advice would ...

hi brett,

I am doing something similar though my submersible will be spherical in shape. I'm working on a design for a professor at ASU. If you have any questions or useful info, please email me at pamoreno@asu.edu. I would like to collaborate with others designing a similar ROV.

First off, I've posted this in the Rasp Pi section but I have questions regarding matters other than just design. I am currently designing an ROV for a professor to be used in canal inspection. For this ROV, there are some strict constraints: max dimensions 12x12x15 cm max volume, less than 2 kg dry...

For this ROV, there are some strict constraints: max dimensions 12x12x15 cm max volume, less than 2 kg dry weight, and symmetric thruster configuration that must allow for surge, yaw, and sway ...
