Open Robotics, SeaPerch 2018 ROV, The Keepers, Beacon V4.1

thingiverse

****Scale parts up by 10x This is a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) with a frame that measures 4.5"x4.5"x6.25". This ROV is a product of two and a half years of design and testing. I originally designed to compete in the 2018 SeaPerch International competition. Don't think of this as just a competition robot, but an open platform that has the potential to be adapted to fit a verity of applications. I would like to highlight these key features: ~Large amount of mounting space ~Light weight frame ~Stable evenly balanced for operation ~Built-in tolerances so parts fit ~Minimal Support required For your convince, I have included a set of drawings (.pdf) and a zipped file of all the inventor files to give people the opportunity to modify and create parts (.rar). STEP files are available on request. In the 6th picture, you can see some examples of the modified parts including a hook and stators. I attached a copy of my engineering notebook that shows my design process and original sketches. Complete electronic parts list coming soon. This design was further updated by using an AI to reduce weight and increase strength. This is seen in my V4.2. I highly suggest you check it out.
