Answering the question: Why aren't there more robotic hovercrafts?

I've got a new design, and it shows promise. I've altered a number of things based on what I've learned, and as a side note, the cardboard change was SO worth it!

Changes:

- Single hover EDF. Addresses rotational torque issue.

- Magnetic chamber. I'd like to be able to change out the bases as they wear and tear.

- New chamber design. Instead of a single big hole on the bottom, there are now six small holes. Still using electrical tape for sides of chamber.

- Removed Servo from design and instead opted for Dual EDF design. The EDFs are tilted out at 30 degrees to make turning easier.

Still need to test it, but I'm hopeful!
