Do the rules say anything about using innertubes like Ringers as part of a hovercraft skirt?

It's a curiosity question.

I'm one of those people who believe you can get a lot of juice out of those batteries to lift a 110-lb robot. I'm not worried about 20-30V doing the job. I'm worried about the current. Whether the 110-lb robot can be lifted 4" of the ground? That's an interesting dilemma I hope at least one team pushes that boundary. I would much rather see a 130-lb robot as a hovercraft myself.

Steering may not be such a problem, but it is controlling the steering so you don't oversteer or miss the rack. But if it can be done, a hovercraft robot will be absolutely "broken." By "broken" I mean that it will do so well in the game that few teams will have answers for it: Fast, too able to get past defenders, and ability to score on the move.
