Hack

Set your imagination free with community built add-ons and creations of your own design! In the true spirit of Open-Source hardware, the technical forums are full of vibrant, helpful, and enthusiastic builders, makers, and coders. Borrow a hack or invent your own! Once built, you will have a window into a new world of possibilities with endless variation and potential.

Explore

Small, light, and capable, you can take OpenROV 2.8 with you anywhere. Onboard lights, camera, and lasers can help you discover things in places you can't or shouldn't go yourself, up to 100m deep!
