Lol!

Nearing the end of the build our student teacher got bored and built one of those Hovercrafts during one of our FIRST sessions. He mainly built it for his tech seminar class... but it was fun riding it... it was a good break from troubleshooting the robot code...

His was a round piece of plywood about 3-4' in diameter with plastic sheeting wrapped around one side of it, attached to the edges, and one nut through the middle that held the sheeting in place there (be sure to tape up this spot very well... and probabaly use a washer that will act as some type of o-ring)... then he put a hole on one side of it and that's where the shop vac/leaf blower went...

The plast sheeting had 1" diameter holes in it, spread out approximately 6" apart, soccer ball style (alternating). I'm not sure if he bought the sheet that way, or he put the holes in himself...
