Very cool Phil.. Thanks for sharing that.
As an ex-employee of MBARI, I can tell you that we threw a lot of stuff in the water that took more development time and cost than yours with similar results.
Well, it remains to be seen just how long we'll last. I think we probably over-engineered this thing, and I wouldn't be surprised if it continues to float long after the batteries die. We did mark it to give us a chance of getting it back should it be discovered on a beach someday.
We're already tossing around lots of ideas for a follow-on. Beware the second system effect...
