I was kind of looking at a twin hull "speed" boat design powered with the LEGO
props. Now I know that it might not go very fast, but it's just something that
I enjoy, remote control boats! I've never actually owned one, but a friend use
to build the model ones and race them a the park and I had a blast driving
them. So, I figured that I'd give it a shot making a "robot" boat! And being
able to control it.
