This kit includes all of the parts needed to build a remotely operated underwater vehicle, but it does not include the battery or battery charger.

Students learn engineering concepts and hone skills in problem solving, teamwork, scientific communication, and technical applications.

This kit is the perfect starting point for those interested in competing in the NZ AQUABOT competition.  You can find out more about the programme; including how to book a build day, register a team and the rules by going to here
