|
By David Poulson

It’s challenging to take the concept very far as federal authorities try to sort through how to regulate them. Now there may be a way to do something similar underwater. TT Robotix has indicated it will come out with a remotely controlled submersible capable of taking a Go-Pro camera more than 30 feet under water. It can remotely take still and video images and even stream what the camera sees as it sees it.
