Summary: Hydrovision specializes in the design and manufacture of remotely operated vehicles, or ROV, for use underwater. The company has decided that it is time to come up with a new and improved version of their long-standing, highly successful model. This program looks specifically at how electronics and software engineers at Hydrovision use block diagrams to organize the onboard component systems of the ROV. The designers also get a chance to test and debug the prototype.
