Tooling Attachments
[INSERT DETAILS HERE: Any additional tools mounted on the ROV — measurement devices, sampling tools, hooks, cutters. Include attachment method and quick-change capability if applicable]
Pilot Interaction
Manipulator control integrates with the Reverse Mode virtual joystick system (see Topside Software). When engaged, control axes are swapped to match the pilot's perspective when the ROV faces the operator during close-proximity manipulator tasks.
