The T.U.R.D floats...

[Cane Pole]

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.

If duct tape can't fix it, it can't be fixed. Tom, looks like you got a winner.
