Introduction. The Raverover is a remote-controlled hovercraft that was built as a ECE 476 final project. Originally a digital-only hovercraft (the motors only had one speed setting), our elite team of engineers removed all of the transmitter's and hovercraft's circuitry and replaced it with their own, state-of-the-art, MEGA 163 microcontroller-based circuitry to create an all new, analog-controlled hovercraft. The end result is a hovercraft that is more responsive and controllable than the original.
The remote-controlled hovercraft has three dc motors - one to provide the cushion of air to ride upon, and two to provide steering and propulsion. Steering is controlled by differential thrust.
