grr...

sorry folks...water WILL NOT happen....
simple as that
unless first makes a reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaallllyyy big effort, which they will not do....they have contracts and connections with companies which are basic component companies....if boats and water came into the picture......a whole new kind of kit would haveto be designed, and thats not somethig first would do.....they just rpefer dumping all the old stuff (with some things newer and some taken away) into a box and handing it out......and water when it comes to the construction of the feild would be hard....and expensive......
and there would be too many complications with electronics.....AND.............how do yoy test your bot on a teather ? swim behind it ?
personally i think this topic is getting really old...iv'e seen it around more than once.......................
what it would come down to is the amount of effort and money FIRST would be willing to put into a water competition..........and i dont think they wanto do ither.
