The scaffolding in the box is used to hold all the electrical boards in place as the vehicle moves around and completes tasks
- Priorities: mounting, clearance with the boards
- Considerations: Curvature of the box, size of the box
Used the geometry of the box and built around it and the electrical boards. Checked this with the box assembly to ensure the holes matched up.
All the electrical boards and the bottom of the box.
The scaffolding is 3D printed with PLA filament
The electrical stack and the box.
- Problem with the size of the box being different by 0.04 inches. The boards would then not fit
- Water could get trapped under the scaffolding if water entered the box
Electrical provided Fusion models of the boards and how they should connect all together
In one of the iterations of the design, the hole placement was off. Another error was putting material where there was already existing material in the box and did not perform collision analysis.
I would change how it was designed. I don’t think the way it was approached was the most effective.
- Any fun side details

The Box Scaffolding comprised of two unique parts that follow the geometry of the Box and utilize the dimensions of the electrical stack. The scaffolding serves to hold the electrical components in place while the ROV is under water. Hole placement and the existing geometries served as constraints for the design and material was added in the negative space. Holes lined up with the electrical stack and connected them to the holes in the base of the Box. Heat set inserts were used to create the proper size threads in the PLA printed parts. The idea was to have at least two points of contact between both the box and the electrical stack.
