Go to Post Not every team can start 200 teams in Canada or Hawaii because they are located in relatively dense region of teams already. This doesn't mean they can't impact their local and surrounding areas. This is where you have to be creative. - tim-tim [more]

Well, there are many ways of waterproofing. If wires are exiting a waterproof case, the hole has to be waterproof. There are a lot of ways of waterproofing a hole, but the trick is to see if it reamains waterproof when the ROV dives. The preasure at depths is the real problem.

A few years ago, we built a PVC ROV and we modified PVC fittings with epoxy for waterproof conectors that were to be used in a swimming pool (20 foot depth). Our connections held up well, but the Pelican Case that is "waterproof" leaked. It had an O ring on the lid that leaked at a joint. A small leak, but when the ROV is underwater for a half hour, even a small leak lets in a lot of water.
