Test Rig

Earlier development was done on a very bare-bones test rig, basically consisting of a watertight box with 2 thruster mounted to the bottom. The Test Rig wass not meant to be submersible, instead it floats around the surface, to test control mechanics and electronics.

Bill of Materials

Please see this Google Sheet for the materials currently used to build Test Rig and at a later stage the actual MiniSub Vehicle.

Custom Components

3D Printed Motor Mount

Note

This motor mount has some serious design issues and probably shouldn't be used as-is.

A 3D printed motor mount is used to attach the thrusters to the electronics housing. STEP and STL files are provided here.
