Bob Zook, the project engineer, has posted a picture of what the ROV will look like when it is finished (though maybe with different colors).

ROVROV

Bob writes: The SCINI ROV (SCINI stands for Submersible Constructed for Under Ice Navigation and Imaging) will have 5 thrusters for maneuvering, 2 cameras and light sources for seeing, laser scaling so we know how big things are, a navigation system so we know where we are, and ultimately, a sonar system so that we can map the seafloor. It's a lot to fit in a small package! It will allow us to reach deeper depths and more remote areas than we have previously been able to access, and because we will be exploring new territory we can't predict exactly what we will find. But that is part of the excitement!
