"The aim is to create an underwater robot capable of utilizing home built thrusters and mechanical spider legs , later on I have plans for using it as a underwater test rig and developing a sensor for measuring and reacting to underwater currents. As the final year project of my degree I will be working with the university's sonar module to enhance the software we created for the SAUC-E event and add compensation for physical movement caused by the underwater enviroment."
We've sent him some of our plastic corrosion resistant bearings & look forward very much to hearing how he gets on with them!

I wish it was possible to use plastic bearings on bicycles.
Maybe it is?
Oh Red, if only it were!! Unfortunately, they are for low speed & loads only - you'd probably crumple them within seconds of fitting them to your bike :0(
They are good for tricky little apps like Thomas's though, or really corrosive environments.
We'll keep looking for the perfect solution for you though - new developments are coming every day...
