This is my final project for the technician. I used FreeCAD to design the boat.
The bait boat is using two "M-Jet 30 Jet Drive". It can store a Raspberry Pi 5 (companion) ,a Pixhawk 6c Mini, 4 Lipo Batteries, DC-DC Converter for the Pi and a 433MHz telemetry module.
In the front i used five 5mm white LEDs and in the back four 5mm red LEDs.
What currently missing in the files is the adapter plate for the trap door servo.
The cover is attached with six M5 screws (2 in the front and 4 on the top of the trap door).
You also have to decide if you want to use screws or pins to assemble the two hulls with the middle part, i used a mix of pins, M3 screws and 2K glue to assemble the hull. To asseble the cover i used 2k glue with fiberglas and little 1,5mm stainless steel pins.
In the video you can also see how the trapdoor works with a 55kg servo which was bought at amazon on my test boat.
Currently I'm designing a reverse bucket on for the m jet 30, which you will find later if needed.
You can find also my Ground Control Station which is using an iPad Mini.
