japhet perez suggested I should make an underwater rover. I am limited to testing in my bath so I kept it simple. The electronics are kept dry by sitting them inside a plastic storage tray and I use a reed switch to turn the power on by putting a magnet on the outside of the car. Components - Plastic storage tray Electric motor Reed switch 9v battery Flower cane Drinking straws 2 pulleys Scrap polystyrene packaging Disks from gas hob rings - for heavy wheels Lead fishing weights Tools - Soldering iron wire cutters/strippers Hot Glue Gun Power drill Rubber Band Powered Car using Printer Rollers for wheels https://youtu.be/OvTkiOlcpoc I have added this video to my Electric Toy Cars playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB0yTUYmJSS3ML5xxaBzHl3e and to my Submarine playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB0YFWgPosff-Wy7IDGMjWZn I cannot answer comments from people who have blocked replies, so if you don't get a reply to your question that may be the reason.

To find them follow my YouTube search guide https://youtu.be/ceBSOoOHcgw or see my playlists https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/playlists?flow=grid&view=1 Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap. https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan
