Submarine patrolling Hampture

Driving the U16 microsub around Hampture Mk.2.5. I don't have the life support pod on there since I only have one air pump and can't supply air to both the sub and habitat at the same time. Obviously the habitat is higher priority. Cruising around the outside of the base is fun, although it'd be cooler with a camera on the sub, or if the sub could actually dock with the base. Maybe in a future version?

So you are planning on mounting a camera to this submarine?

@snarfalopogus

I sure plan to try.

Not that I'm questioning your waterproofing prowess but how about adding an emergency siphon? Have a water sensor half way up the habitat and solenoid controlled toilet siphon that dumps the water into a bucket in an emergency.

Ambient pressure habitats are self-purging by design. Air is constantly being pumped into them, creating a slight overpressure inside. As a result, even if there is a leak, air can bleed out (like in the video) but water cannot get in unless the hole is very big. If you filled the habitat with water and then turned on the pump, all of it would gradually be forced out by the air pressure. It's an inherently safe design. This is why no ambient habitat in history has ever flooded.

That sub looks awesome bro.

@EnsignEpic

It is awesome. It's the only small affordable RC sub I could find with an actual working ballast tank. The rest were cheap shit with down-angled thrusters; You had to move forward to dive, and it'd float to the surface the moment you stopped sending it forward. Ballast tanks are typically only found on much larger, more expensive subs. This one really impressed me. Kudos to the engineers at Graupner Hobby.

I rejected those cages. Instead I choose something different. I choose the impossible.

I choose....

HAMPTURE!

hell is dis?

You sir are a gentleman of science and have the bravery to go where no hamster has gone before!

[andrewyaoauatauabaea]

Make the sub controllable by viewers :p

That's excellent. Sorry for doubting you.
