Hey Guys, I am a Search Operations Officer in the UK. With Norfolk Lowland Search and Rescue. We are in the process of developing an underwater search capability. We now need to get as much practice as possible in using and utilising the BLUEROV2 Heavy we have. To do so, one idea was to use the Blu…

Hi @Blain_Leslie_NORLSAR , welcome to the forum :slight_smile: [image] Blain: But once I’m ‘in the pool’ the ROV just spins constantly and unable to control it. This sounds like potentially a parameter issue - it may help to try resetting them to defaults, but that’s hard to say without more …

There is a market for a simulator in the UK as Norfolk Lowland are one of only a handful of Lowland rescue team that have a Sonar and ROV capability to deploy to water rescue/ Recovery jobs. We are still in the early stages and mostly need to get as much…
