Draft 3

Draft 4

Draft4's design was choosen for the final prototype as it has a streamlined shape and and electronics are a safe height from water level

Changes to idea

    • Due to electronical constraints the craft's original primary function to detect fish has been changed to a dispense fish food and transmit data on the water temperture. Fishes tend to be in warmer areas thus using a temperature sensor as a substitute to find fish may suffice on a DIY level. Link to research on topic:
