The main body of the water craft was a large rubber duck with small side ducks added for stability. Propulsion was provided by small submarine propellers taken from a remote-controlled submarine. Water was squirted thorugh the nozzle on the top of the duck's head via a 600 gallon per hour bilge pump. Team affiliation was indicated by the super-bright LEDs in the duck's right eye. The small blue circle in the chest is the iButton reader.
