Re: pic: Tetrix-Based ROV project

I took a chance that the Tetrix motor controllers could handle the bilge pump motor as a quick web search didn't yeild a data sheet for the controller power capacity. I like the ability to program with the game controller and since we needed a laptop poolside, I found an inexpensive USB converter for the camera video so the laptop serves two purposes. We just finished bouancy test number two so nothing on paper as of yet.

I'd like to experiment more with the Tetrix metal for the frame as we just discovered that we can chase the wires in the u-channels and then put pool noodles in that channel for bouyancy. It could really clean up the build.
