Re: No more hull scraping / under water cleaning

Here is your house cleaning bot. Perhaps she can dive?

Re: No more hull scraping / under water cleaning

For general under water drone work, check out OpenROV. You guys are really underestimating drone development. We'll have a couple in the air circling our boats and some under water scouting forward for floating debris, reefs etc. very soon. If you take one of the new selfie drones then it will already follow your boat. Check "SV Seeker ROV" on Youtube as well. It will provide StructureScan but for now it's tethered.
