Granted, this here project isn't nearly as inexpensive as the $100 underwater ROV from years back, but at least this one is propelled by something a bit more advanced than a pull string. Regardless, the ROV-in-a-Box Project Kit -- created by folks from Carl Hayden High School for use in the National Underwater Robotics Challenge -- is a $249.95 package that "includes all the parts needed to build a working underwater robot: a frame, motors, underwater light, camera, 50-foot tether, operator control box, and a dry-cell battery." Of course, you'll still be required to provide your own tools and TV monitor, but to take a closer look at exactly what a nickel under $250 will buy you, click on through for a detailed video (but do tap Mute beforehand, okay?).

Did ROV's explore below the oceans surface?
NO
How is the rov argo controlled?
probaly by the control box
How to make something neutrally buoyant?
Figure out the weight of the device (ROV, submarine,etc), and then the weight of the water displaced. When they are equal, the device is neutrally buoyant. However, usually engineers create a ROV with a slightly positive or negative bouyancy, personally I perfer a positivly buoyant ROV because if you lose power or the tether is cut the ROV will ascend back up to the top. A more simple answer is that when the gravity & buoyancy are equal it is neutrally buoyant
How do you day nice to meet you in Russian?
