Re: Hovercraft

From my point of view, at the start of the match, your skirt will be touching the ground and thus be considered as providing friction between the robot and the arena, in violation of <R06>.
Not to mention, I don't see much advantage in having a hovercraft. You're better off with rover wheels, in my opinion...you might be able to get up off the ground, butI doubt the fans you're going to use for thrust will get you very far. Granted, I've never messed with many hovercrafts, so I can't say anything on that for sure.
