Update - November 15th, 2019

As of now, most of our parts have arrived and we are busy at work configuring them and piecing them together. While assembling some components, we realized that we might need a few more parts like a WiFi dongle to amplify signals for the Raspberry Pi. Below is a list of the new parts we are seeking.

• WiFi Dongle
• 32GB Micro-SD
• Raspberry Pi Power Supply
• Bullet Plugs

Below are pictures of some of the parts we received.

Most of our parts had arrived in November, but some such as the tether arrived this month. Additionally, as we have been building and coding GRIP, we have realized that we need some more parts, which are listed below.

• Bullet Plugs (We still need more)
• XT60 Connectors
• Heat Shrink
• Battery Monitors

With these parts having been accounted for, our total cost for the project is $550.75, which is still $49.25 under our budget. Below is a picture of the tether that we received.

With all of our parts in by this point of the project, the only components we will need are smaller items that we may need as we are building the ROV. Below is list of the items that we have purchased last month.

• Bullet Plugs

Update - February 21st, 2020

Because we already have all the parts needed for assembling the robot, all we need to order are the waterproofing supplies to make the robot water resistant.We also needed an extra motor because we damaged one of our original ones due to accidentally waterproofing a wrong area of the motor. Below is a list of items that we purchased within the last month.

• Silicone Putty
