Solution 2 is trapezoidal. The area of the base is greater than the area of the top, but the only dimension that changes is width. The trapezoidal shape makes the side an A-frame, making the ROV sturdy and ideal for landing on the ocean/pool floor. The hull is slightly heavier than neutrally buoyant, so the hull will want to sink. Fortunately, the A-frame provides support in a landing scenario. The cable release is located on aside of the ROV on its own face adjacent to the mechanical arm and forward/back propellers. This way, it is far from any of the subsystems and should not get caught or tangled. The dimensions of the top face are 2’ x 1’6”. The dimensions of the base are 3’ x 1’6”. It is 1’6” high. It is made out of a mixture of PVC and aluminum.
Considering the trapezoidal section containing the electrical components, including the motors, is dry, the displacement is high. The total displacement of the hull should be around 2,916 cubic inches, or 47,784.68 cubic centimeters. Since the density of water is 1, the hull will displace 47.78 kg of water.
