Who hasn’t always wanted to build an underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle, complete with onboard video camera? Well now you can, and on a tight budget. For $250 you can buy the ROV-in-a-Box Project Kit, a DIY project pioneered by the fine folks at Carl Hayden High School that “includes all the parts needed to build a working underwater robot: a frame, motors, underwater light, camera, 50-foot tether, operator control box, and a dry-cell battery.” You simply add the labor to build it and a monitor display. Sweet! Doubtful about it’s performance? Check out a video of the ROV in action below.
