Control Selection/ Rejection

Controls:
Alternate solution number one is the simplest control solution. It is simply a classic Atari joystick modified to control the ROV. It can be bought at any videogame store that buys and sells used merchandise. This is a very useful control system for the fact that it is already assembled and only needs to be rewired. To control the bilge pumps on the ROV, several ways to rewire the joystick can be found on the internet. The rewiring is not difficult and consists of unscrewing the bottom and rearranging the wires and adding longer wires to it that will run down the umbilical cord. This solution is the cheaper than the second solution, and will be easier to learn how to control. This solution is the more logical solution to use because it is simpler and cheaper.

Alternate solution number two is a much more complicated solution compared to the first solution. If selected everything would need to be assembled perfectly. It would also need to be wired properly as would the first solution, but the first solution is an already assembled piece. This solution is also more expensive than the first solution. Multiple switches would need to be bought and assembled in a housing that would need to be built also. This solution is less reasonable to build. It is much more complicated and expensive than the first solution.

The first solution will be the chosen solution to use. It will require and Atari joystick and rewiring. It is a simple, cheap method to accurately controlling the ROV.
