Humble Prototypes -- From ROVs to Houseboats

Maker Faire Bay Area 2023

October 13th-22nd

Presenter Robotics

The first prototypes are never pretty, but they're always necessary. It's important to view maker projects from a long-term perspective. They change and evolve through time. The OpenROV project evolved from a barely working prototype to a capable machine after dozens of iterations. Too often, this evolutionary process is hidden, even though the best learning takes place in the earliest stages. Come learn about our newest adventure (and prototype): a portable electric houseboat.
