Welcome My name is Curtis Schur, I am the author of this web page. I am currently finishing a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering at The University of Newcastle, Australia. This web page has been created as a requirement for the fulfillment of this course and to support my final year project. It has been designed for a minimum screen resolution of 800x600. My web page aims to provide an overview of my project, the Seafox remotely operated vehicle (ROV). I hope that whoever reads this can gain a basic understanding of what my project is all about.
