T.U.R.D. improvements (pics) for those interested.

Added another vertical thruster motor for better control. Eliminated toggle switches and replaced with joysticks for better control. Also added a Hover button. When you push the red button, the ROV holds the selected depth. I should be able to get some pretty good underwater pictures before long...maybe..








This thang is a gettin' complicated. Lots easier to operate with the joysticks.

Unreal CP, you really are Mr Gizmo. You need to patent this and offer it to some company. I'm sure there's a market for this somewhere.

Mr. Gizmo does him no justice. I like Inspector Gadget. :D

Tom, is this a hobby or work? The T.U.R.D. looks real clean, good work...

You get this working right and it would revolutionize treasure hunting, brushpile placement, fishfinder feedback would be checkable, docks and structure would be verifiable. I bet you could sell them to dock owners, treasure hunters, law enforcement. Great product especially once you get the bugs worked out.

you better get a patent attorney for that thing and then start production. Or sell the patent to some big company that wants it.

Thanks for the support guys/gals. I took the ROV to Carroll Lake today. Man, this thing works great. The joysticks made the craft easy to control. Fatboy could even drive it....ha...

I will be headed to Ky. Lake for a trial run after July 4 week is over. I am expecting great results (underwater pictures) based on the ROV performance today.

I will keep u posted wheather u wanna hear about it or not...ha...Hey, u can always not click.....haha
