Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Manipulator actuation / design



Hi Phil. I think I understand the basic mechanism you describe for a breakaway arm. Very interesting and thanks alot. When I reach that point on my sub design this info will be invaluable.
     On another note, what kind of batteries do you currently suggest for a home builder. Because the technology is changing so fast, I was going to purchase regular deep cycle marine batteries from my local auto supply store at $60 each X 13 and use those while I test the sub and learn how to drive it. Once I get all the bugs worked out, I can look at a more permanent set with higher capacities. ( and much higher cost )
Again, thanks for the great advice on the arm and I hope we get to visit with you at next year's convention.
Frank D.
