    Default More Robo Boat progress...Pics.


    Pics of trolling motor control. It goes left, right, foward, reverse. Just like electric wheel chair, except controlled remotely with model airplane controller.







    CNC student milling mount for reel. Reel is a Martin fly rig. Reel motor is a model airplane servo motor modified for continuous rotation.

    I've designed and built large scale model aircraft, 8' wingspan 38 CC engines and I know craftsmanship when I see it. Great looking installation. You are to be commended, keep up the great work.
