EccentricsWe all know someone who's a little bit strange - Mum's UFO abduction secret, or the mad Uncle who isn't allowed within 400 yards of Noel Edmonds.
Tell us about your family eccentrics, or just those you've met but don't think you're related to.

The thought I hadwas to use strain gauges to harness him in place- in other words, one on each side, one on top, one on bottom, and one each front and rear. They would be the tethers that held him stationary within the bowl, but would tell the controller which way he was trying to go.
The problem? Carrying enough water, a pump, a filter and a computer on a blimp. The RC car idea is more practical, but even so...
The other aspect, of course, is the cost of this. I can't imagine it would be cheap, and I don't have a few grand to shell out on the stuff.
