ROV
The Hornet
This ROV was built in our senior design class by two students (Adam Kay & Nick Callahan). The control circuits are currently being modified to use a joystick instead of potentiometers. The students are also redesigning it to use brushless motors. It is intended to be deployable and operatable by one person with the power supplied by a car battery. The vehicle was successful tested in August 2001 in the artic waters of North Alaska.
