I just came up with an idea.Is it possible to make a mini ROV 5-6 in long w/o a camera with those tiny motors and maybe small custom made props?? I would experiment with it but I am busy with my 1st ROV so I wanted to fire this idea out there.
Thanks,
Josh :ugeek:

I think there's a kit for that:

Looks kind of cool, though expensive for the parts provided. You could definitely do it for cheaper buying the parts yourself.

I started a small Rov that size (but with a camera)... of course I haven't finished it. (yet)

I also was trying to make a fish tank Rov out of those tiny pager motors but this is as far as I got .....
