Homebuilt ROVs Forum

Hi everyone

I'm a mechanical engineering student at WSU and recently got into ROVs, and now me and a friend are looking to design our own. My first ROV is one I built from a kit, the ROV-in-a-Box from Inventivity LLC. It uses surface power and bilge pump motors, with a tether of two CAT5 cables. It's been a lot of fun exploring the Puget sound so far, so I now would like to try my hand at designing one of my own, capable of going deeper and doing more. Looking forward to starting design work and getting started!

It's kind of a niche hobby so the forum is slow at times but we always look forward to seeing new stuff from new people. That Rov in a Box has gotten a lot of people started over the years and is such a great starting platform to learn from. Anyway.... Welcome to the forum.
