Rendering done by Lilly to show the scale of the project.
SolidWorks rendering of the robot design. With three sealed pressure hulls of battery cells, two sealed pressure hulls for electronics and sensors, secure ribbing to hold together the structure, a propellor motor, green supports to hold the nitrogen/oxygen sensor, and purple lift handles for ease of use when deploying.
