Advanced ROV

The Advanced ROV demonstrated during the conference featured several new projects available to teaches whose students desire to move beyond the initial Sea Perch's capabilities. Significantly more powerful motors, a Stereo Hydrophone system, a bank of LED lights, and the mounting of instruments such as a compass and depth gauge in front of the camera. The frame, while much larger than that of a normal Sea Perch, is made of the same materials: PVC pipe with floats on top and weights below.

Below are documents for building components of the Advanced ROV. These are still under development, so comments and suggestions are appreciated.
