Prop Adapters

The Delta V15 5 rotor is the current stock prop on OpenROV. This is a decision of convenience, not optimization. I encourage anyone reading this to try and redesign a more efficient prop.

But, if you do have a Delta V15, here's how we've been adapting them to the the motor shaft. We've used scrap acrylic from the structure of the ROV to cut small acrylic adapters. Each laser cutter is a little different so it always takes me a few rounds to get on that fits exactly right. Plan on needing a few size revisions - it's critical that the adapter be VERY tight around both the shaft and the prop.
