Too easy. ;D

Just use a magnetic board cooled with liquid Helium, and tracks/arenas covered in magnets. Ta-daa! Instant levitation. ;)

HOVERBOARD - NILS GUADAGNIN

I think they have already experimented flying a HUGE quadcopter with rider onboard.

<fellbuendel> it's arduino, you're not supposed to know anything about what you're doing
