X wing ROV
Ok I'm not a star wars person more of a Trekkie (lol as I sit here watching Star Trek )but I liked the design.
Here's what I've slowly been working on for about a year, I did say slowly.
Here's the first public pictured
Comments welcome be gentle with a newbie
2 lights on top, camera in the middle

Looks good so far.

Re: X wing ROV
Wow. Those look like some hefty lights. How will you power this? On-board battery or over the tether?
Re: X wing ROV
They are 12v led 700 lumens, I have them on a dimmer switch. I'm powering them through a tether.
Here's the lights and my controller with dimmer.

Re: X wing ROV
Nice progress, looking forward to the outdoor pictures
Re: X wing ROV
Now to see if it floats and sinks.
Had to build my own tub big enough to test it.
