    Going to have fun this summer with the grandkids playing tugboat laser tag:D Hopefully these will load but the pics show the fleet and the video shows an early version with it's laser cannon firing away. Damn they won't load so I'll try to figure out what to do and post later

    It's best to load your video on YouTube (free) and paste the URL here. The URL should look something like this:

    Code:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Zo_FDZ_UXs
    Once you've pasted the URL and saved the post the video will be displayed.

    By the way, you can go back and edit your posts by using the edit button under the post you want to change.

    Now that there is a fleet of laser attack tugs, next step is to build a fleet support vessel. IMG_1388.JPG IMG_1386.JPG IMG_1387.JPG IMG_1388.JPG IMG_1386.JPG

    What does the net do on the support vessel? It looks like it can raise and lower. What else does the support vessel do?

    I should call it more of a retriever vessel, yes the whole net/rake goes down below the water line to gently lift stranded vessels back to shore. Other than that no purpose as of yet. Still working on the vessel, need to hook up a fpv system for better alinement when retrieving at a distance.

    OK, that's really cool useful. Are those yellow cranes on the support vessel attached to the boats?
