I hope you don’t mind me asking for your opinion.
We are a small group of engineers that have developed various hardware for several oceanographic expeditions. We’ve been thinking about making a smaller, affordable ROV (remotely operated vehicle) for use by a wider circle of enthusiasts, and we are about a year away from completing development.
My questions is whether in your opinion the yachting community will be interested in such a product. Should we bother advertising to yacht owners one day?
The robot will be easy-to-use, able explore down to 200-300m depth and record HD video. Retail cost should be around $4k – this is above the hobby OpenROV you may have heard of, but much cheaper than existing industrial market leaders, whose specifications we’ll match or exceed. The idea is to put serious technology in a user-friendly package. Thanks!
