Can I assume you are displacing a gas, like air, when you take the water in, so are you doing this with some kind of piston-like pump running on electricity?
@erikelmore Yes you are right, air is being displaced as water is sucked in. The mechanism is a simple piston attached to a rotating screw which is run by an electric motor.
Cool! Which robot did you use and how long does the battery last?

What kind of sub is that?
How does it dive and surface?

@erikelmore It is a modified sub to demonstrate the principle of Underwater Gliding.
It dives by taking in-water and surfaces by ejecting water. Simple Buoyancy
