Seafox ROV

Below is a list of all the items you might need to build your own Seafox ROV. This design is based on the Seafox ROV by Harry Bohm author of Build Your Own Underwater Robot and Other Wet Projects, and I do recommend you buy this $20.00 book as it contains more details on the electrical setup and other information.

Good luck with your project.
