Coat Hanger ROV - every ROV functions with the same basic principles. Structure, buoyancy, tether, power and movement. Knowing that, we promise to send you all the pieces & instructions to turn a simple plastic coat hanger into your own underwater robot. How cool is that! Although it it won't help you find hidden treasure - a coat hanger ROV can certainly pick up swim rings from the bottom of a pool! Power for this one is a 6V lantern battery avaiable at most mass retailers.
