We went on a shopping spree today and bought parts for the other additions to the team ( ) along with our new lighting system, some small 3watt apparently pre-watertight lights. Also, we finally took the 'bot for a test night swim and everything worked out perfectly, including the new "appendage" used for picking up objects!

I'll try to get some image up soon in the gallery, but until then you can check out the video

Where is the night video? You guys are doing great!

We are in the process of making the new ROV for this year. We are calling it Amanda, Tell you the story later. Basically a slightly improved version of last years. We are also making a second ROV much smaller as an assistant. We will post pics soon. We hope to be in the water soon and test as well.

Also, if you want strong magnets, break open non functioning hard drives and use those magnets, they are very strong and light!
