Salvaging Parts From Old Printers

My friend was nice enough to donate his old printers for us to take apart for spare parts. This was very useful for the rover because we able to salvage four high torque DC motors from them. Here are some pictures of the printers being taken apart and some parts removed from them.

Underwater PVC Rover Project

One of my favorite hobbies is fishing and every time I go fishing, I always wonder how the fish react to the bait and just how they live. After watching the BBC documentary "The Blue Planet," I was inspired to build a cheap underwater rover to see what's it like under the surface. The rover is going to be made of 1" PVC pipe and parts pulled off of other electronics such as printers and remote control cars.
