I have a feeling that there was supposed to be a link there :-)]]>Aug 10th 2008 8:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/autosub6000-to-explore-deep-undersea-volcanoes-as-only-a-robot-c/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/autosub6000-to-explore-deep-undersea-volcanoes-as-only-a-robot-c/
Umm, that's a lot more than a kilometer. Like a thousand times more.]]>Aug 10th 2008 9:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/autosub6000-to-explore-deep-undersea-volcanoes-as-only-a-robot-c/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/autosub6000-to-explore-deep-undersea-volcanoes-as-only-a-robot-c/Aug 10th 2008 9:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/autosub6000-to-explore-deep-undersea-volcanoes-as-only-a-robot-c/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/autosub6000-to-explore-deep-undersea-volcanoes-as-only-a-robot-c/

The range is pretty impressive, but other than that I can't really see what all the fuss is about. There are vehicles that go deeper and do more, and are doing more interesting stuff. Sounds like the BBC doing its best to make the UK look as scientifically significant as possible. Now, the way they use individually pressure compensated battery cells to avoid a big tube is impressive, but Engadet seems to miss that completely, just doing the link to the shitty blog and not really bothering to understand what's going on. ]]>Aug 11th 2008 12:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/autosub6000-to-explore-deep-undersea-volcanoes-as-only-a-robot-c/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/autosub6000-to-explore-deep-undersea-volcanoes-as-only-a-robot-c/
True

"The HROV at WHOI goes something like 13,000m down."

Yes, but they'll have to dig a 2000 m hole in the Mariana Trench to test do so.]]>Aug 11th 2008 2:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/autosub6000-to-explore-deep-undersea-volcanoes-as-only-a-robot-c/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/autosub6000-to-explore-deep-undersea-volcanoes-as-only-a-robot-c/Aug 11th 2008 3:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/autosub6000-to-explore-deep-undersea-volcanoes-as-only-a-robot-c/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/autosub6000-to-explore-deep-undersea-volcanoes-as-only-a-robot-c/Aug 11th 2008 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/autosub6000-to-explore-deep-undersea-volcanoes-as-only-a-robot-c/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/autosub6000-to-explore-deep-undersea-volcanoes-as-only-a-robot-c/Aug 11th 2008 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/autosub6000-to-explore-deep-undersea-volcanoes-as-only-a-robot-c/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/autosub6000-to-explore-deep-undersea-volcanoes-as-only-a-robot-c/
6000 meter = ~1140 rods
1 kilometer = ~1350 double remen]]>Aug 11th 2008 2:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/autosub6000-to-explore-deep-undersea-volcanoes-as-only-a-robot-c/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/autosub6000-to-explore-deep-undersea-volcanoes-as-only-a-robot-c/
This is a name and as such should be spelled as is. "Pearl Harbor" is never "Pearl Harbour" for the same reason.]]>Aug 12th 2008 5:32AM
