2.3 Back Platform Assembly

Overview

Fully Assembled Back Platform

Bio-Buckets Installation

Bio-Bucket modification

The Hanging Coral is placed in one of the Bio-Buckets for the beginning of each team's run. If the Hanging Coral is lying on the bottom of the Bio-Bucket it will be difficult for the ROV to lift. The front end of one of the Bio-Buckets needs to be cut as shown.

Heavy duty scissors, sheet metal (tin) snips, or small hand saws can be used to cut the Bio-Bucket. Smooth any sharp edges using a file or sandpaper.

Attach two Bio-Buckets to the Back Platform.
