true, it might be hard to get enough lift for a 130 lb bot...

Hate to burst your bubble, but it's been done. Back in '97 (I believe that was the year), a team (I believe it was the MIT team but I could be wrong) built a hovercraft. It couldn't do anything but float around as a hovercraft. So FIRST used it for the placebo (then it was 1v1v1 but they couldn't always field 3 teams so sometimes there was a "placebo" that really didn't do anything) that year. I personally didn't see it but I've heard good things about it.
