Make an Arduino ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) | Engineering Project

Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) an access underwater locations that are difficult or dangerous for humans to get to. They can take pictures, videos, water samples, and gather other useful scientific information. You can build your own simple ROV using an Arduino and a plastic food storage container, and use it to record your own underwater footage or sensor readings. The design and construction of the ROV itself makes a great engineering project, and you can also use the ROV to gather environmental data for a science project. For complete written instructions, including a parts list, circuit diagram, and example code, see the Science Buddies website: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/scienc...
