Homemade ROV being tested in a bathtub. LED light on, two Pelican flashlights added for dark murky water here in the Northwest, and camera. Was testing after a camera problem was identified. Sorry no first hand footage from the ROV's point of view. The camera video was not great quality, faulty circuit board. Thrusters are bilge pump motors with radio control airplane propellers.I use a 50 foot umbilical cord and use this to snoop around the local piers. Pretty cool toy, and I get a lot of wierd looks from people.
Short test of homemade ROV. Camera was damaged and gives a blurred image now. Checking thrusters for problems. Camera will be used as backup for new one to be installed.
