Okay, so let's talk about this, bc everyone is acting like this is some kind of clue that the vehicle was doomed from the getgo. Brief thread here.
You can't just *buy* submersible systems off the shelf. Most research submersible systems are built ✨by the org that owns the vehicle✨ The presence of a video game controller is not the "gotcha" everyone thinks it is.
Guess what? #HOVAlvin is driven with a very basic joystick. #ROVJason is driven with a joystick. The Japanese ROV Kaiko is driven with a joystick.

The fact that these guys are using a game controller isn't this weird thing folks are making it out to be.
