Remote Underwater Exploration
We just want to remind you all that Blue Robotics has updated their recommendations for shipping the BlueROV2. Remember to:
What an awesome use for budding robotics skills in this pandemic:
The COVID-19 pandemic has abruptly disrupted formal education for millions of students, including many who participate in the MATE ROV competitions. Grant Kahl and Eric Love are two former members of Kepler Enterprises who stayed connected with their MATE ROV competition teammates when they were forced to return home from college. All 10 members of Kepler Enterprises got together to create a self-directed project-based learning experience that no instructor or classroom could replicate.

It is good to update your V6 firmware periodically for new app features (like curvature settings), function enhancements, and bug fixes. The FIFISH App will alert you when new firmware updates are available by displaying a red dot next to the Help menu in bottom right corner of FIFISH App main screen (see photo).
Instructions on how to complete firmware updates can be found at: QYSEA support Make sure your devices (mobile phone, remote controller, and ROV) are fully charged before you start the upgrade process.
Remember to recalibrate the V6 gyro/accelerometer and the magnetometer sensors after each firmware upgrade. Again, detailed instructions can be found at: QYSEA support
We had a great time underwater with a BlueROV2 at Barangaroo (Sydney) yesterday, finding very little rubbish (a baseball hat and a tyre) but spotted quite a number of very delicate “white plants”.
