Re: How can we drive on this new floor?

So here's my basic Idea for anyone who was following, Use a fan or such to provide thrust downward, or basically a (much) lower pressure area underneath the bot, the result (hopefully) would be more weight force downwards, making up for that lost weight force from the low traction, I'm not entirely sure exactly how to implement, and I'm not bothering to run the math on how much airflow is required to make up even say 200 lbs, but something like this might be sufficient,

any thoughts?
