Thank you for this beginners guide that covers all the needs in order to build an effective experience. And I hope that in future lessons, you will explain some technical information in the manufacture of the structure and the capabilities of bearing pressure and resisting marine currents
thank you for this really informative video, i was thinking to install a camera and was hoping you could guide me on this since i am taking this as my final year project
yeah awesome. I want to use in lagoons and marine what do I need to be/do to be able too? Im assuming its a matter of insulating the electricals? or is the saline going to affect the actual frame or the tether? The motors are marine so I am eliminating them as a problem. I am using kit control system so marine I am guessing I REALLY make sure the wiring is protected on the drone I am interested in the frame and thruster mounts. My design of another drone isnt bulky enough. I am using mine to film wild crocodiles and I have many sharks. So I have to have something like this. Not to big and not to small. Too big will provoke and to small is to easy to attack. I have to attacth bird wire repellants the wires to keep nosy predetors at bay also a magnet system in corners to repel sharks. I would like to hear suggestions on anti crocodile and shark ideas. I live in far North Australia we cannot go in water and have every dangerous snake shark crocodile and jellyfish so is an exciting dangerous enviroment. Wish me luck I will post. But any feedback very appreciated.
Thank you so much for your guide. I want to take ROV as my final year project. Can I know where I can get the equipment like t shape and all piping size in one shop..Maybe you can share the online link for the shop if you know it. Thank you
You can find more information and links in our ROV activity packet here: naturalhistory.si.edu/sites/default/files/media/file/how-build-rov-ver-1.pdf But we usually get all of our parts from the local hardware store. Happy building!
Hi, I would like to ask if it is possible to create the wireless underwater ROV? If yes, can you suggest what can I do that create the wireless one? Thank you in advance!
Yes, you can use the electronics from a cheap toy RC submarine. They use fairly low frequency that is good enough for a pool. You'd need to combine those electronics with a battery and probably some relays to control the motors. Biggest problem would be creating a waterproof box for all the electronics and onboard batteries.
Thanks Woody. Excellent video.
Thanks for this guide! It’s nice to see a thorough tutorial with basic parts!
Glad it was helpful!
First of all: I have never even heard of a pvc cutter, second of all: I don’t even know anyone with a saw

very impressive work
Thank you so much for this guide.
Thank you for posting this. I'm gonna build of of these asap!
Thank you ❤
Awesome!!!
thank you for this really informative video, i was thinking to install a camera and was hoping you could guide me on this since i am taking this as my final year project
great video!!!
What do you recommend to use as a power source? Is it possible to use a LiPo battery?
Great project!!! i notice there is no camera inside!!!
Link to building materials list is broken or missing
Nice Job Woody! And you use "meter" ! Gimme five! LOL

what type of battery are you using

Thank you 😊
should thread wires through the pvc pipes
Could you tell me what size the propeller is?
What are the modifications that are necessary for salt/brackish water operation (i.e. Indian River Lagoon)?
I’m trying to build this where do I buy the 25 feet of 18-gauge, 6 conductor, stranded
tether wire
How much does this all cost to make?
Great video, thank you! Question: These motors you use for the thrusters, are they fine for saltwater usage?
he says in the desc that all the electronic parts are not meant to be used in salt water and will corrode
how much does all of this cost?
Great tutorial. Do you have a figure for maximum depth of a design like this?
as deep as your tether is long?
@@brich2929 at a certain point some of the components might crush and fail
Hi, I would like to ask if it is possible to create the wireless underwater ROV? If yes, can you suggest what can I do that create the wireless one? Thank you in advance!
Wireless might be possible but you almost never see it in rov applications because radio waves have a very difficult time travelling underwater.
Yes, you can use the electronics from a cheap toy RC submarine. They use fairly low frequency that is good enough for a pool. You'd need to combine those electronics with a battery and probably some relays to control the motors. Biggest problem would be creating a waterproof box for all the electronics and onboard batteries.
Any reason why you didn't wire the grounds together at the ROV then run it up the tether in a single strand?
that's a good idea.
If you common ground the motors, they would no longer be reversible.
