Final ROV

  1. Mark and company,

    So now I finally found the posts again. Very impressive work.

    I see that some of the concepts we discussed were used very effectively. After reading your report, I would add only the word "prototyping" to help describe the process you have followed.

    When building the first of a new design or new model, it is standard practice to only have the up-front design go "so far," and then allow the mechanics/artisans/builders some freedom in revising or adapting as-needed. After a working model is finished, the next step will entail "reverse-engineering" where the working unit is used to document the design. After that, minor revisions of the design are updated and refined prior to creation of final documents intended to be used for mass production.

    Again - very impressive,

    Kevin

  2. Mark,

    Try something like the following. It was only $15 on-line and runs on 12VDC. You might look at the aquarium area of a pet supply store.

    Unlike floating lights this Brinkmann Outdoors Light is submergeable meaning that the light emitted is not reflected back off the surface meaning that light does not get lost. The 250000 Candlepowers emitted from the Brinkmann Outdoors Startfire II Underwater Q Beam Fish Light are strong enough for fish to notice from far away. Not only will this fishing light by Brinkmann Outdoors bring in small fish but larger fish that feed on them. The 10 ft straight chord on the Brinkmann Outdoors Underwater Start Fire II Q-Beam Underwater Fishing Light attaches to a power source such as a car battery to provide superior strength light.
