As a fellow RC pilot, I'm curious about the validity of the Maker/Air Achievements, as well. This would also allow some of us to reach water geohashes when we don't have ready access to a portable boat. Alternatively, perhaps a "Hash By Proxy" Achievement should be created, as in "My GPS reached the hashpoint under my control while I was nearby." We could also just do an RC Vehicle Achievement, though the Proxy one might lend itself to interesting Rube Goldberg devices. Thoughts? --Pardey 01:53, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey, a more general "Rube Goldberg Geohash Achievement" could be created, for reaching the hash in an unnecessarily indirect and complicated manner :) It would certainly apply here. --Dawidi 18:25, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Re-reading the Maker and Air Achievement pages, they both are clearly geared toward the Geohasher reaching the point, and including RC vehicles would undermine the exclusivity of those achievements. Thoughts on the other proposals, though? --Pardey 02:01, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

RC Geohash sounds nice. That could include remote controlled devices, or even people. (I told my gf to meet me at these coordinates, and never showed up. Yay! Achievement!). -- Relet 09:21, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
