Week Three: Control Box

This is the finalized controller for our project. It is not wired yet, but hopefully we can do that in class today. Overall parts price: $15.02.

Week 3: Rough Design

A rough sketch of the general (PVC) structure has been made so the PVC pipes can be cut during Wednesday's meeting time. A scan of the sketch is included below:

Week 2 Past Events Update

After finishing the creation of our blog site, we began to discuss options for the creation of our Sea Perch ROV. We considered:

• Replacing the motors with more powerful ones
• Adding a fourth motor
• Modifying the controller for ease of use/additional motor(s)
• For now, our structural design is based on the "standard" Sea Perch design

As a group, we put our ideas into our design proposal, which also includes a problem statement, design constraints, and our proposed budget.

For Week 3, we would like to end up with a final concept for our design. We would also like to begin to create a CADD drawing of our design.
