It's not pretty, but it's done. A soon as I figure out why the DVR remote isn't talking to the DVR, i'll make a short vid and post it. But other than that, it's working great.

And this is the onboard control box. Otterbox 2500. Banana plugs for the thrusters, an 8 pin AMP connector for the tether data(cat5) and the rest are for thruster/manipulator power and separate camera/Velleman power. Plus
lots and lots of epoxy!

It floats! Or more importantly, it doesn't sink. I was worried the arm and the two WTCs would be too much weight for the floats.
