the best frame shape

[josh97531]

i am about to start to design my rov but i want to know if their is advantages/disadvantages of different frame shapes like the 2 below or is it just down to personal opinion

It kinda depends on the components you are wanting to use as well as any tools etc you want to incorporate.
I ended up with my particular shape/design because I got a good deal on Nicads and needed enough room to house them.
I suggest you make a list of components you want to use and then let form follow function.

My 2 cents
