I preordered the OpenROV this winter during it's early kickstarter phase and they're still promising to have them ship by end of summer this year. I'm stoked to get it, but am happy to wait until they get it right in production. I'll let everyone know when it arrives and how it works out.

Here is an recent update to how the product is coming along in case anyone is interested in the read.

The minimum price on that is $1400....going to almost $2000....?!?!?!

Note to agflt...I would not put my phone number in a post on the internet...send it to them pm...

The BlueROV2 is my recommendation for when you need something that can do some actual work. https://bluerobotics.com/product-category/rov/
