[PSUBS-MAILIST] submersible motor

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Brian,
no they don't. I was thinking of making up my own gear train with plastic or 316
gears. I was going to work backward; make the gripper, then gripper rotation,
then wrist & by that time I will know what weight I have, & how much power or
gearing I need for the next joint.
With your boat you will need a strong manipulator. As a diver you might have
Experienced a wave surge at depth. If you were going to pick something up & a wave surge hit your sub you could have the weight of your sub driving your manipulator in 
to rocks.
I know Vance commented that light weight manipulators get broken easily.
