Our four Seabotix BTD150 thrusters have arrived! They came via UPS in a badly damaged box labeled "fragile", so hopefully they will actually work (there's no visible damage to the thrusters so they're probably fine). We don't have any way to test them yet, but motor controllers, a micro controller, and a power supply are next on our purchasing list.
Many thanks to Seabotix for giving us a generous discount on the thrusters! Also, thanks to Associated Students Inc (ASI) for the granting us most of the funding to make this purchase. We still have some money to raise, but the thrusters account for almost half of our total estimated cost. UPS Box
They look beautiful. To tell
