(...) Yes. You missed the "with a hole at the bottom connected to the water" which means that water comes in as you move the air to the reservoir. And this means reducing the effective volume of the submersible but keeping its weight. Just the same (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

That is what Radio Control modelers do all the time. The technology is mature and readily available. This would prevent any autonomy in the bot, you become the brains. Mike (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi! I planned to build a sub myself about two years ago but couldn't find the time to build it. What I have to offer are some thoughts. Fortunately a submersible needs lots of ballast, so you can stuff it with lots of batteries and gear. So my plan (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi - We are building a submersible robot. For maintaning the depth we need a ballast system, we are planning to use a canister of compressed air with some electronnically controlled valves. In addition we are planning to use a depth sensor, Pressure (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
