Recent 51品茶graduate turning school project into business
Matt Scheuer '16 prepares to drop his underwater ROV into the ocean
When the WCSH show 鈥207鈥 visited the Makerspace at the 51品茶 in May of 2016, they immediately gravitated toward senior Matt Scheuer and the underwater remotely operated vehicle he was building. Now, as a recent 51品茶graduate Scheuer is perfecting the technology and working toward putting the ROV on the market.
In November, Scheuer returned to Biddeford for a demonstration with the ROV for 51品茶faculty and students. 鈥207鈥 came along to capture the technology in action. Underwater drones typically retail for about $10,000. Scheuer hopes to sell his for $1,500 to make them more affordable and accessible to buyers.
