Sub (UUV)

Overview

Our sub, Graey, features an 8-thruster holonomic layout using 80/20 aluminum extrusion frames. We’ve learned that simplicity and modularity are the best practices. We have aligned our hull with the center of mass, and used PVC pipes to adjust bouyancy. Additionally, we use interconnect and a double layer of O-rings for reliable waterproofing.
