Field notes
The site organizes the project around the vehicle, its student team, a blog, and a visual record of testing and fieldwork. Its stated instrumentation pairs video with depth, pressure, and temperature readings, while the page also gives a build cost and describes deployment without a support vessel. The extract shows project documentation, not an interface for remotely operating or acquiring the ROV.
