Manipulator Recommendations
Posted: Jul 4th, 2012, 2:32 pm
Hello,
I'm still new to the forums and ROV's all together but anyways,
Can anyone give me a recommendation on a decent manipulator setup I could use? Attatched is a picture of my frame.
It's similar to a Seafox, It is a wet frame. And yes, I know, It's in dire need of a new paint job.

EDIT: What I'd like to do with the manipulator is pick up items at the bottom of a lake. I'd LOVE a claw but I cannot figure out what to use for a setup, I have an arduino controller, so i'd like to use a servo on SparkFun.com's metal claw ( http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10332 ) but don't know of any waterproof ones thatll work to 60' deep. I don't care if the claw is stationary to the frame or not, I like the idea of Steves treadded claw to open/close, but I cannot for the life of me find a nice one.
Any Ideas? All are appreciated.
Thanks!
