Hey, Pontus, don't go away in a snit! I got a pretty good laugh at the thought of you building a AUV with the AI abilitly to navigate through a wreck. This means that your vehicle will have to be smarter than your average South Florida IANTD dive instrokter. Come to think of it maybe this project is doable after all. If you want I have a Commadore 64 I can give you which will probably have all the cycled you need for this project.
