Homebuilt ROVs Forum

Not sure if anyone is following my slow progress here, in case there are I just wanted to let you know that my project is on hold atm in favor of building a house for me and my family. Off course I included a small 9m² workshop where I can work on stuff like this. I am really looking forward to having a dedicated spot not having to move around all the parts and tools every single time I am doing some work on the ROV. Deadline is midsummer next year so I am hoping to be able to get my ROV wet a couple of months after that.

I follow your progress with great interest.
Congrats to your new house.

Hi guys!
We have been living in our new house for one and a half year now and we are finally getting settled in. Yesterday I started to clean up the workshop and went and retrieved all my ROV parts from storage. Today I plan on finishing cleaning up in there and continue with the project, FINALLY!

That sounds so familair, enjoy your "new" house and the progress.

Any updates? Would love to see more on this design.

To be honest with you I ditched this project. I am a bit disappointed in myself that I didn't finish it but it started to feel more and more like a burden, I learnt a lot so it's not all wasted. I always felt a bit limited by the tether and that it was going to be a bit of a hassle to bring everything with me. I haven't started anything new yet but I am a tinkerer so I will be starting a new project. I really like automation so I've started planning in my head for an AUV instead. I got most of the components already so it's time to do some planning so I can get started.
