That is unbelievably reasonable :shock: like I told you before I think your going to make a real difference in this hobby. I bet the MATE crowd is going to go bonkers over these things too I think it's going to open up great possibilities for some of the smaller less funded teams.

Hi All,
I just added $135 to my original early bird Thruster pledge of $270 to be able to get my three Thrusters equipped with the built in water cooled ESC and distribution boards.

Hi All,
Congratulations to Blue Robotics as they are well on their way to their the third stretch KickStarter T100 Thruster Project goal of $95k! :D
So if any of the members here are looking for a thruster with more thrust than the original T100, the T200 might just fill your requirements.

Hi All,
Now that the Blue Robotics T100 Thruster KickStarter Project is funded, if you ordered thrusters or ESCs or thrusters with integrated ESCs, be sure to return to the T100 KickStarter Project website https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/84 ... r-thruster to fill out the purchase survey.

The hand written letter is a GREAT touch!

As soon as my credit card recovers from the summer holidays... I do believe some thrusters will be in my future!

Best of luck to the BlueRobotics team!

Hi All,
I just received Blue Robotics' 13th Project Update.

In the latest update they indicated that they did a static (unpowered) depth test of the T100 thruster to 850 ft (250 m) and there was no physical damage detected after the test and the thruster still performed to spec.

They are presently working with a testing facility to test the thruster to full ocean depth of 11 km. However it will be a few months before they get the results back, but they are very excited to see what the thruster can do when pushed to the limits.

Are the thrusters sealed?
