There will be a plastic lid to go over the current electrical box and will extend down past any exposed holes
All wires will be re-routed up under this lid and nothing will be coming out the side of the electrical box
Camera’s will be mounted inside this waterproof shield
Current WorkLogic
Code has been modified so that it no longer knows the order to proceed through the buoys
Next steps The code uses a viewing angle of 180º, and we
found out that with two camera’s we will have 80º total. So code must be modified to work with a smaller viewing angle
Incorporate Yellow buoys as obstacles.
Current WorkFrame/Pontoons
