Self propelled guided torpedos

[rumman]

Hey Dave,

We are just exploring the idea of guided torpedos. Since they will be motor powered do we need a kill switch? we were hoping for a software timeout after a couple of seconds to keep the EE design simple.

Hey rumman

As long as they follow the guild-lines for torpedoes, powered torpedoes do not require a kill switch.

rumman please treat your guided torpedoes as expendable components. Sometime divers are not able to retrieve them as they have to support the next team getting in the water.

Received the below question in email about torpedoes.

Would it be within the rules to propel the torpedo forward with gas CO2?

Daveman I know the answer but it wouldn't have the same impact that your infamous short answer tend to
