Hell I'd take one just for throwing in the local lake.
Or as some companies in the past and present, throw one in with a workclass spread for FREE! (until it is used...) Another reason for rates problems I suspect.

When we were initially looking at micro ROVs, I called a friend of mine who operates a variety of ROVs and has extensive experience with them. I asked him "VideoRay or Seabotix."
His answer was this: The ROV is a tough little workhorse and the Seabotix is like a finely tuned scientific instrument.
I decided that I wanted something that I didn't have to worry about keeping 'finely tuned' to operate. There is nothing worse than working on an ROV to get in back in the water with a client standing over you watching you tinker with the unit to 'make it work.'
So we went went with VideoRay.
