#SeaTrial
It worked!
Hardware is hard, ocean is harder. We learnt loads and we did not loose her after completing our first ever sea trial in Miami in the Atlantic Ocean ;)

#Challenge
Would you help?
We are rethinking transport which means we are rethinking everything, including engineering. "Why do we need sonars?" "How can we use biomimicry?", "How can we use physics and not electronics", "How can we use components from other industries?" ,"Oh, we have this problem we think you can solve?
We need your help to challenge the status-quo, take the next steps in the most net-positive way and need your ideas, help :)
