Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Sub launched ROV

Hi All.

I was looking at Doug Jacksons website the other day and he has made a small ROV that seemed to work well.

Damn! I love you guys. There's so much good info here. Thanks to you all ,
Vance, Jay, Carsten, and others.
Although I'm focused on finishing what I've got, the whole "mini-sub/ROV"
idea has a lot of merit. Other wise why would everyone in the professional
industry be going in that direction.
On a more practical note....how tough would it be to work up a test model
from left over sub stuff ( I've got a bunch of stuff ) and bang something rough
together to see what works and what doesn't. Start with something simple like
a  small ROV with limited capabilities, maybe a universal type connector, a
cheap camera so we can see what's going on down there, minimum depth but
enough to see how it all comes together. Keep thinking of what you would like to
see as a minimum, bring these ideas to the convention, and maybe we can have a
 beer and come up with a simple design that can be knocked up cheaply to
explore the concept. I'd be happy to partner up and see what can be done.  Got
any good stuff laying around?
Bring your ideas. See you there. Frank D.
