The Mechanics is a Hong Kong-based entrepreneurial organization committed to cost-effective oceanographic research assisted by Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). Understanding that oceans are absolutely crucial to almost every aspect of the Earth, from eco-system biology to global climate change, we have made it our priority to help in efforts to monitor this vast environmental body through Ocean

Observing Systems, which track changes in the ocean real-time. ROVs are an absolutely integral part of constructing and maintaining these monitoring systems; our company aims to provide such ROVs using affordable materials and easily-replicable designs, so that research can continue with fewer expenses. We do not always succeed, but we at least attempt to overcome these setbacks with self-deprecating humor, technical expertise, and an optimistic company spirit.

The Mechanics' Fun Fact #3:
Our official ROV model, Alexander Nehmzow, is more well known by his stage name, "Axle". His name is derived from the idea of an axle acting as the central pivot, at which gears can rotate with ease; similar to how the much Axle helps us stay a well-oiled machine, making sure we always focus and stay on task.
