Re: ROVER3D

thx 8-)

i used epoxy resin. Don´t use polyester! You cannot use polyester in saltwater for longer time, you cannot clean the rov with alcohol or aceton and you may have problems with painting. i had a lot of problems with it so i can´t recommend polyester for rov-building...

Re: ROVER3D

The hull does not hold up the pressure. the electronic components build in an oil-filled housing inside the hull.

Re: ROVER3D

ROVER3D LxBxH is 120x35x20cm
Vertikal Thruster diameter is 16cm
The aquadynamic design is for regional use in lakes with many plants. So nothing can be caught by the body.
In addition ROVER3d can pitch till 180° vertikal in the water and roll 360°.
