Quadcopter retrieval on Lake Superior with DIY ROV

I found an excuse to see the fall colors on MN’s North Shore last week and also retrieved a lost FPV quadcopter. Lots of improvements still needed to be more effective (better gripper solution, mapping controls correctly, moving thrusters down to CG/CB point to stop pitching on thrust, etc) but was fun nonetheless. Check it out!

Wow, so clear! Nice job

That visibility is insanely good. Goods like a great place to dive.
