AC.motion - a computer-controlled model ship

First draft of jet drive Currently I'm working at T-Systems and a private project, "AC.motion". It is a computer-controlled ship that can be remotely controlled via a laptop, joystick, and WLAN - that's the plan. The ultimate goal is to give it some intelligence for autonomous operations, such as following a preset track using GPS and an electronic compass.

I'm a software guy, not a model person. I hope my skills are sufficient to get the carpentry done...
