Re: Outdoor Robot

This Major Qualifying Project at WPI was designed to inspect the thickness of the ice on frozen lakes for ice skaters.

They water proofed the robot by integrating a cavity inside the robot that is sealed when the robot is in operation. Its made out of Polycarb. and features a rubber ring around the interfacing pieces. All of the electronics are water tight and it might serve as "prior art" in your search.
