Helping a local ROV competition

Post by Jeremy »

Interesting and fun experiment Saturday.

Ingredients:
Divers (GUE Seattle, Bubbles and Suds, Marker Buoys, Federal Way Mudsharks, and one King 5 weatherman)
Amazing kids!
Inspiring teachers

Throw together and mix well! The ROV's ranged from $250 to $15,000. And the kids took the competition pretty seriously. More than a few tears and cheers happened. All in all a great experience!!

Here is a video of the day....if nothing else it's evidence Jeff Renner is a diver. :)

I think we have some future divers! Some of the kids were more interested in diving than the competition!

very cool - looks like fun. what a cool project to get to work on in high school!
I think you've figured out the root cause of your problems. Even sea lions get annoyed by splitfin divers silting out their dive sites. Switch back to your jets and you'll be safe from the sea lion silt prevention patrol from now on. - NWbrewer
