    This would have been better if you would have both started with the same pile of components and had to scratch build vehicles to complete these challenges without modifications between rounds. Let the individual engineering shine through

    Great video, was very entertaining. For the next challenge, I would love to see something with a little bit more build and modify volume. Like, get a spefific car kit for x bucks, you can use y bucks on electronics and 3D printed parts plus everything you got at home like foam and controller, not special parts, enjoy, modify it like you want. Have no clue about prices, but maybe 300 bucks in total? Something that encourages you to cut corners and don't modify something like hell, but also gets a liabel modifing project (series). Could be pretty interesting as a Community action or with more DIY creators.

    Did you find the front wheels helped with steering in the water? I'd have gone with a combined water and air rudder, both attached to the same servo and a skeg to keep the boat straight. Obviously ground clearance would be an issue when out of the water but it sits a fair way off the ground.

    Also it would be rad to have it go arrow straight by looking back at the pad and making flight corrections (done with KISS design and low weight). Yes, talk is cheap.

    There was a cartoon that I watched, seeing this reminded me of it as it gave off that vibe from an episode, George Shrinks: Speed Shrinks
    It was an "Iron Car Rally", the vehicles had to be capable of land, air and sea for the race, it would be interesting to see what you two could do for an endurance rance where they have to capable of land, air and sea, but not in stages like you did in this video
    I think it would be a fun project and would be interesting to see what different designs you two would come up with to tackle conquering land, air and sea
    Just a thought
