And besides I think a water game is far overdue, were ready for a new element
If a watergame does happen, it won't be an entire field made of water. Sure, we have sealed electrical components but the task of trying to get a 120lb robot to both be able to float and move around would be ridiculous. The field itself would be expensive to produce, and would weigh a ton with all that water. If there is water, it will be something like a kiddie pool in the middle of the field that robots collect game pieces from.
