Homebuilt underwater robot

 

Welcome

This site provides information about the design and creation process of an underwater remote operated vehicle. The project is neither commercial nor sponsored by an educational institution. It is fully sponsored by a private person.
The main goal is to have fun and get satisfaction from building and then using an underwater robot.

Content

In the Research section you will find my design considerations. Components contains a description of ready-made robot components. Exploration will provide information about robot missions, but for now it only contains places I would like to explore. Links as you can guess gives you a few links to similar projects and places worth to seeing when building underwater device.
