The project objective is to design and construct a remotely operated submarine from easily accessible materials and use it to explore the bottom of Cultus Lake. Tasks include picking up objects, running scientific tests, or catching fish. The changes that this project will bring to the world are nothing new, but it is an exercise in proving that with the skills, materials, and tools everyone in the First World can access, one is able to build an ROV. We were able to find all our parts from Amazon, Digikey, and Home Depot. Any bespoke or custom parts that we found online in open source materials we were able to 3D print or laser cut.
