Saw your site.....Very impressive work.
The ROV sank like a rock on the first try. I was suprised as I had spo much trouble sinking those plastic condos..ha.. Had to add more pvc flotation. The idea is to make it slightly float ( slight positive bouyancy) and have the dive thruster under water. Thank goodness for duct tape. Static dive went very well. Motors worked well underwater. Camera worked good. Saw a few brim.
Propellers have not arrived, so we used a gaffle pole to push the ROV around underwater. Should be ready for a trial dive next week. I gonna take half my class one day, then the others the next day. They gonna draw numbers to see who goes first.

I think the mistake a lot of us make is thinking the state-appointed shrink is our friend.
If duct tape can't fix it, it can't be fixed. Tom, looks like you got a winner.
