Making Bigger Waves

Finally after two missed OSG meetings, due to sickness, we got back to ROV business! First, we talked about the new motor controller that we ordered. Now we have three controllers. One controls the z-axis motors, another controls the x-y axis motors, and the last one controls The Sucker’s three bilge pump motors.
    Then Sarah and Virginia filed down the kort nozzles that I had previously sawed. Meanwhile, I measured the pipe that will protect the wires leaving the thrusters.
    Near the end of our meeting we cracked the ice (it was five centimetres thick!) on our test tank and tested The Sucker again. When The Sucker is on full force it draws 18 amps and boy, is it powerful!
