What is it suposed to do?

[GreenAce92]

what about just propellers?

[BlueToothKiwi]

No - the all the electronics are prone to water damage - so they would need to be shielded. I took some extra precautions to ensure it did not drown

you could get one of those lego bionicle bottles and put in a camera, then close up the bottle and get some water sealent at Lowes, and put it around the cap's rim. i have tested and this actually is water tight. so you could attach this below the water line of the robot and you could get a underwater view with the camera. but you would have to make one end of the bottle transparent.

i can definitely appreciate this! although I see some room for improvement on the propulsion, which isn't ery affective.

I think it's much better than the bug killer that won the contest though... 8/10!

i saw your entry on the nxtlog it looks awesome i think you should have won that contest

Thank you nvzboy. The use of the insect spray pretty much make it disqualified. Thanks for the support.

Cool! Omni-directional "ship"

But it cant turn its own body to change directions.
