New Generation of NXT Propulsion?

Could two robots be paving the road for a new propulsion? Two robots have been made to propel themselves forward with propellers! It is actually be harder than you think! I have made the first one. Linus at nxtasy.org was able to make one that was way better than mine able to race across the ground. If you want to give it a spin go ahead! Drop me a line if you ever build one. Here are the two forum links:
