I just came across this ROV company (https://www.theoceancompany.com/) that's making modular ROVs that can be put together like Legos. I know the parts are plastic, but how do you think they are screwing the parts together without it failing? I don't know what depths they are going to, but I imagine this thing has to handle decent pressures.

I get curious bc I imagine that (1) there would be a high stress concentration at the interface / the screw, (2) this is a great place for a leak, and (3) I'm curious how they're doing the electrical mating so that the new pieces can talk to the main MCU controlling everything.

Any ideas?

I’m trying to rewire my brain chemistry to be more optimistic, so I’m looking for podcasts, YouTube creators, etc. of people who are happy + informed!

It doesn’t even have to be specifically news, but I’d love to just fill my brain with more people who look at the world and an optimistic and happy way. Please share your favorite recommendations :)
