The Grunts' design
The Grunts' design involves less brain power and more bodging. They are going for a boat-shaped hull, but instead of segments, one single-bagged skirt will provide a cushion for their craft. They’ll use one engine for lift and a second for directional thrust. It’s a simple approach and should make for an easy build, but two engines could spell double trouble.
