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

In my bout of testing over these past few weeks, I've discovered a number of issues with my BoosterPack that I'd like to address, and a few things I'd like to tweak.

One of the things that I'll be updating that's relevant to the Hovercraft is the ability to plug the battery directly into the BoosterPack, allowing me to get real time current consumption. I'm not able to do this right now since the current shunt resistor can only handle about 40A. Each EDF can top off at 30A, which is something that I'd rather not test. The plan for the next board will be to handle 100A at 24V.
