Hi there!

Post by puzzler300 »

Hello, I have been obsessing about ROVs for about 6 months now and have finally started my build! I have been doing some research and this is the design that I came up with.

for a control system I am thinking of using four 500 GPH bilge pump cartridges. and controlling them through just a simple forward/reverse switch. I'm not very good at electronics so this method seems right up my alley.
