      New type of batteries
      Discussion 
      Good night from Spain Congratulations on your project and your forum. I'm also doing a ROV project, but with Arduino. At the moment I have quite a few problems with the program, but reading the topic of https://www.bluedotrov.com/forum/software-1/questions-about-programming The problem arises of having to open the ROV for battery charging. This has been raised to many and the most published solution, which is not the most correct one is to open the ROV, remove the batteries, and put them to charge. This can be solved by incorporating into our projects the new generation of wireless batteries and chargers, which is being used for some Smatphones, if you manage to put the battery down enough and in contact with the surface of the ROV housing, you can put it on top of the charger, without opening the ROV, and thus avoid the problems caused with the water inlet. Merry Christmas to all

      Programming Resource Suggestions?
      Discussion 
      Can someone point me to a good resource that can explain Python, like the Archimedes file, within the context of robotics. I have SOME familiarity with Python as I have taken a few basic courses, BUT looking at the Archimedes file in Github...it all looks alien to me.
