Claim 0:
1. A water display for providing a performance of visual effects, comprising:
a body of water having a floor underneath a surface of the water; and
a plurality of unmanned movable water delivery devices that each operate without a human aboard, and that each include a nozzle to emit a stream of water, a propulsion assembly, a guidance assembly, and support legs which are positioned in a non-deployed position or a deployed position;
a controller that controls the operation of each of the plurality of unmanned movable water delivery devices according to a predetermined choreographed sequence to provide the performance;
wherein the controller controls the nozzle of each of the plurality of unmanned moveable water delivery devices so that each nozzle is pointed in a non-vertical direction for at least a portion of the performance at the same time or different times so that each emitted stream of water is non-vertical at the same time or different times;
wherein the controller controls the propulsion assembly and the guidance assembly of each of the plurality of unmanned movable water delivery devices so that one or more of the plurality of unmanned movable water delivery devices move about the body of water of the water display, according to the predetermined choreographed sequence, when the support legs are in the non-deployed position; and
wherein the support legs engage the floor when positioned in the deployed position and when the nozzle emits the stream of water, so that the support legs counteract the force created by the emitted stream of water.
