[PSUBS-MAILIST] motor pods

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Brian, Rick.
I am pretty sure Phil said he would sell his 4 axis "Deep Worker 2000" foot controls.
Not sure of the price though. I saw an article where NASA was looking at copying
these controls for it's space craft.
Cliff put foot controls on his R300, & I have been wavering on the issue. Certainly
it would be an advantage to have your hands free for videoing etc.

I was thinking of using a golf cart accelerator pedal that I assume has the potentiometer attached to it and install it where my foot goes on the steering yoke for my stern thruster. How do you think that would work? and I think they have a separate two way switch for forward and reverse?
