Hovercraft fail

Ugh, this projects been frustrating. We've fried one arduino board, one motor shield, and a snes controller. Now we have to go with the hovercraft controlling itself. After frying all that it was pretty scary to see the arduino take in a lot of current and no voltage and then start smoking. Luckily, nothing was damaged. We don't have proof that it worked, but it did work with the snes controller controlling it. Next time, we'll be sure to wear anti-static wristbands!
