Building Sea Perch The Sea Perch is one of the several ROV designs published in the book Build Your Own Under Water Robot and Other Wet Projects by H. Bohm and V. Jensen. MIT Sea Grant has modified the instructions for the construction of the Sea Perch from their book to make it simpler and cheaper to build in the classroom. We have created a three unit manual with detailed step by step instructions and modified parts list. It is available for free download below. NOTE (August 2007): There has been a significant change to the instructions for mounting the propellers on the motors. For details, see this flyer (38 kb PDF) and download the updated manual below. Acquiring Parts for Sea Perch The parts and tools list can be downloaded here: For more ideas, see the "Parts and Sources" section in Perch Chat For off-the-shelf materials that offer additional functionality to your Sea Perch, see the Add-ons section of the Classroom Connections page. |
