Mini ROV??

Post by jcawesome »

:idea: 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. :P

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.
