Check out the progress the team has made for the H-bridge motor controller! We are moving past the design phase and starting to test it.
One of the students along for the trip did a pretty good job of piloting the ROV. The ROV's onboard cameras weren't ideal for the murky water, but they were more than sufficient for basic piloting and navigation.
