This is what qualities I want the base structure to have

New insight about the project

First attempt, base model

This is when you combine a floating object with a tracking device on it. I am still in search for a tool that checks for health. But I realized, weight was an issue if I were to make a mobile city. It would need to have legs or stabilizers. I proved I could make this. If there was a large base of a city with many custom made cranes, that would by my design. Though relating to the the first project, I liked the fish gill theme.

Idea

From the research done, the idea to make a city follow humans turned out great. Getting it into the software was even tougher. I am thinking that I combine the tracker with a crane so the crane targets people. Collecting or grabbing people would be difficult but the quest for searching for a health detector is pointing futile.
