Another was to put a plastic bag at the bottom of the plates. This got me thinking that maybe there could be a way to create a sort of "tube" and blow up a small balloon inside of it????? --- Clay Aucoin In lugnet.robotics, lego-robotics@crynwr.com (Michael Aaron Finch) writes: > Clay Aucoin wrote: > > > I was just wondering if anyone has had (or even tried) making a successful > > floating boat (not using the "Boat Really Floats" pieces)? > > > I've been wondering about that too.
