Autonomous Hovercraft

This is a project I did for a high school engineering project.  I had some of the stuff laying around, so it only cost about $200.  I have experience using the Parallax BS2 (Basic Stamp 2), and had a spare board laying around.  This is all after i finished.  I had not planned on making this an instructable, but figured, what the heck!

Step 1 Materials

BS2 Board
BS2 Module
HB-25 motor controller (x3) ((Any motor controller that can accept a servo pulse should work))
LISY-300 gyro
IR-sensor pair (x2)
Hitec HS-322HD servo
EDF-50 style ducted fan (x3)
Foam Board roughly 13" by 9" (x2)
battery pack 7.2 volt
Optional 6v battery pack for microcontroller
Battery harness
