We started off by attaching the motors to the PVC of the ROV using zip ties through holes we drilled. That was successful although it was a little tough to figure out which motors went where...
After all that we headed to the pool!

Nothing really went wrong except we had too much flotation. So, after cutting off some pool noodle in increments we reached a perfect level in the water. ALMOST all the motors worked. If I understand the situation correctly, the motor that moves the ROV down works but only sometimes. And 'sometimes' is not good if we are in a timed situation.
We did not have time to fix this so now you know what will be on the next post. Hopefully only positive news!! fingers crossed.
