MATE ROV Help!
 

I'm helping an ROV team do the wiring of the sensors and actuators.
Here's the main site and the competition missions:

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to how to waterproof a solenoid? Thanks!

Team 842 is a past MATE champion and started the National Underwater Robotics Challenge (NURC) modeled after FIRST.

There is a ton of information on the NURC website in the "How to" section:

How can we be of assistance?

Encase it in epoxy, high quality kind

Probably depends on the solenoid! Sprinkler valve solenoids are kind of waterproof already. They don't have much stroke though.

Epoxy just became my best friend. Thanks for the help!
