Pescabot #2: Flotability tests

We have found an old RC-powered boat that may just work as the base for Pescabot, it has a 27MHz receiver and a (yet-to-be-determined) motor, plus a servo to steer it left or right.

It has very little space for extra hardware, so it is unclear if we will be able to use it as our base model, however we first wanted to check it floated:


We wanted to test both a sea-shore deployment and a "falling from the sky" deployment, as we eventually have the idea to drop-it from a quadcopter.

The tests were successful :-)
