*AngelFish ROV kits may be taken apart and re-used for future builds. If you plan to do this, an AngelFish Refresh Kit is needed. See Reusing the AngelFish ROV Kit for instructions on taking apart and re-assembling a used AngelFish kit. 

The following materials need to be ordered only once. They can be re-used for future ROV AngelFish builds. 

• 1 Power Supply with GFCI plug-in for every 2 groups of students. Note: If you do not have a source of AC electricity (wall outlet) near your pool, alternative methods of powering the ROV may be needed.
