Adjusting Ballast on the Frame
To adjust the amount or position of ballast on the frame you need the following parts and tools:
7 x 200g Ballast weights (from original BlueROV2 Kit)
7 x 8-16 Thread, 5/8" Long, Thread-Forming Screws
1 x #2 Phillips head screwdriver
To get the longest battery life and the best driving experience, it is important to have the ROV close to balanced from front to back in water
and close to neutrally buoyant. Ping is 48g negatively buoyant in water, so depending on placement, the ROV will need to be re-trimmed
based on your operating conditions. Trimming the ballast may involve a bit of trial and error.
