I took apart Paradigm29`s famous force field hovercraft and built a couple similar devices of my own. SERIOUSLY cool invention, Paradigm29 rocks my socks. This one has a hover drive that works exactly the same as his, but it`s much easier to understand. I didn`t make a superfan for it like Paradigm`s, but I just posted some superfan materials a few minutes ago.

Arrow keys for a directional controller on the body of the vehicle, right shift to brake the hover drive. It`s not as well-tweaked as Paradigm`s, so you`ll probably have to momentarily brake it to get it running right. The balls start off out of sync with the wheel and can get that way again if it hits something really hard, and momentarily braking the wheels seems to get it back into sync.

A couple of obstacles are provided for your enjoyment, but feel free to mess around with it on other courses as well. Hover drives are pretty sweet, but have some serious limitations as well.

Who keeps rating down my hover stuff and why? I know I didn't invent it and made it pretty clear, I'm not sure why it deserved a zero rating.

they rate it down not because it's bad but because they are idiots

btw, bretty damn amazing... I made the motors even weaker and therefore made the behavior while starting a little more realistic:) now someone needs to build the Hoverspeed Hovercraft with that technique:)

Nice! Now that I know how it works I wanna go playing with it. Thanks for simplifying it- Paradigm is a god.

5/5

Actually, Paradigm's hovercraft uses its own uber stabilizer that seems to be a combination of a Raunit and a Lucid device, although I never looked too close at it.

Really? I'll have to go check it out. (And by "check it out" I mean steal it.)
