Just like water can get into small crevaces, the game's "water" pieces would get all into the machinery of the robots. Quite a "simulated" challenge. Need to design robot with some seal against that?

Would like to see how the arena caretakers and shippers could manage the "simulated water" throughout the season.

Just hoping to promote the idea of a "water" game. . .
LOVE IT!!!
