I am very new to FIRST myself, but I was told by one of the other mentors that the water game meme goes back to the earliest days of FIRST, and was already quite prevent during colonial times. Incidentally I was also told that Dean Kamen's grandfather may have suggested the idea of a water game while accepting the first innovation award (called the concoction award at the time) for building a robot out of spruce, and controlling it with a pole. Up until that point the robots were supposedly built almost exclusively from corn husks.
