Re: Wind Tunnel

A robot that flies would not be possible to build within the rules unless you are talking about a hovercraft. A hovercraft would be reasonably easy this year if I am interpreting the rules right. The biggest problem (besides not getting any traction, and dificulty of control) would be generating enough air flow to get it to hover. You would need to build an air pump, and it is unclear to me whether that is allowed. There is no way the compressor can handle the volume of air necessary for making a robot hover properly.
