true, it might be hard to get enough lift for a 130 lb bot...
Getting lift on the hovercraft isn't hard, I'm sure a drill motor or two could do it (albeit not terribly high.) Getting *thrust* is super hard, and going fast in a small space or having any sort of control is much harder.

Watching a FIRST game with hovercrafts would be pretty boring I think.
