Subsea ROV
-
This is actually a "composite" ROV (as in nonsuch) because I had the same problem I had with the wellhead; not enough reference materials or exact scales. And of course a lot of details are missing.
But I think it's in the ballpark.

Thanks.
No, not recently.

Is that a real ROV system?, or is it a fictional one? Looks like a schilling robot, but I do not see anything made by anyone called "Seahorse Mark III". So is it your own design?

Yep. It's fake. Best I could do without real engineering plans.
"Seahorse Mark III" is a running joke. Like the "Mark II" or "Acme."
A joke even older than me. But I had fun and learned a lot making it. Every inch of it. I'm really proud of the thrusters. The one thing you can't see very well.

I have a friend who designs those at Schilling Robotics. I live in Davis, CA the home of Schilling (they are the compnay whose robots are doing most of the work under the rigs on the news I guess). Maybe he knows if there are some real plans available somewhere. That would be a fun project.

I've never heard of them, but a quick search shows they have an office not far from me here in Houston. What a strange coincidence!
