== Hovercraft Robots ==

Basically the idea is to have semi-autonomous robots running around on hovercraft. Right now we are concentrating on creating the chassis.

== Progress ==

Mark I Prototype
Comeplete failure but we did learn some valuable info on skirt size and stiffness. (Strages add your pics please)

Mark II prototype
Significantly more successful. We added a much larger, lighter, and flexible skirt. We also added a cardboard platform to help distribute the weight. After adding reinforcements to the side and "cargo" the hovercraft attained the proper air cushion.

Mark III prototype
Not built yet. Suggest making a much larger platform and mounting the skirt around the intake hole rather than around the edge of the platform.
