Homebuilt ROVs Forum

Thanks for the info! My MATE team is planning on building our rig so we can use it for real, outside the competition, and this is one of the components we're looking at adding.

Just an idea...We're considering putting a laser pointer in our ROV. It would be mounted to point at exactly where the camera was pointing, to help us figure out just where we're headed.

Just a thought... :geek:

I'm on a MATE team, and we want our ROV to be useful in actual situations, such as an oil rig disaster. I saw some videos took by amateur ROVs underwater in the mess, and I couldn't make out any detail. It was just too murky. So I was thinking an infrared camera would work better than a normal visib...

I think it would be a good idea to turn on the user rankings - it's a fun way to see who's the most active members.
