Engineering decisions

Decision Record

Treat robotics as integrated infrastructure

Problem: ROV systems fail when software ignores power, comms, camera, and actuator constraints.

Approach: Build across navigation, hardware docs, communication, and camera configuration.

Tradeoff: Messier than a clean software-only repo.

Outcome: Established physical systems context for later AI systems work.

Results / Learnings

Repo

Includes navigation, arms, Arduino libraries, MQTT demo, camera configs, and engineering docs.

Progressive depth

This page keeps the outcome and architecture visible first. Implementation stack, decisions, constraints, and media are available below so technical depth is opt-in rather than forced.
