Default Homemade ROV...

Hey GoldFever...Do you have design plans for that thing???
If so, and you would not mind passing them along...I would love something like that to play with in a local lake here...If you want to keep the design to yourself for patent reasons or whatnot, I totally understand....

Tooaly cool, GD. I am fascinated by the video and the ROV. I am assuming it has neutral bouyancy and the props can move 180 degrees.

What is amazing also is the trash! Bottles, blocks, tin cans, pails, cars, what a weird world!

Really cool, what powers it and where did you get the waterproof props, or did you waterproof them yourself?

Nice job on it, and from the video, it seems to move you pretty good through the water!
