The black paint job with a Le Mans stripe originates from the team's inherent passion for cars, plus it makes it go faster!

Hello from Florida!
Hello all, I am a senior in high school and a member of my school's ROV competition team, which last month won an ROV competition in Dauphin Island, Alabama. Our design was a simple pvc frame and we were limited by competition requirements as to what motors we could use and what tasks it had to complete. Other than that we were pretty much free to design it how we wanted. Feel free to ask questions, I will be happy to answer them.

Here's the team, I'm the one in the awesome coveralls
We are planning our ROV for next year, right now its in the experimentation stages and is highly classified, but it is drastically different from our first design. I plan to use yall as a sounding board and idea source for my own personal designs plus some finer points of next year's competition vehicle.

Re: Hello from Florida!
Those ARE some awesome coveralls...
Welcome to the forum. Too bad you have to be so tight-lipped about your new design, but I understand.
If your team is going to compete next year there is no point in tipping your hand to the competition.
Let's face it, there is a limited number of sites to find info on homebuilt rovs. So the other teams are bound to wander through here at some point.
Anyway, congrats on the win.

Re: Hello from Florida!
I love coveralls, I've got two pairs (hot and cold weather) and planning on getting a few more pairs with more pockets, I seem to constantly need tools that are still in my toolbag and can't leave what I'm doing. theyre comfortable and, for in the winter, warm! plus if I'm wearing nicer clothes I can just put on my coveralls over them and be able to work without getting my clothes dirty.
Thank you, and yes, I'd love to show it off and ask for advice, but its too risky. I will say that it is a more sophisticated design, inspired by professional ROV's. And thanks, we all couldn't believe it, such a small school being able to be noticeably better... Just goes to show what a Christian school education does!
