Yikes!

Well if you have additional tags and have not used up your robot demo/display time. You can do a few 4 hour "Drying" demos. Put a webcam on it, that way you can broadcast it for all to enjoy..

Hopefully it will dry out without issue... A trick we use here in Hawaii is rice.
The humidity causes our table salt to morph daily into an salt ooze then hardens into a hockey puck. A daily cycle.
So we add rice to the shakers and never a problem.

After your "Drying Demos" and you go to tag & bag it for the last time, put a bunch of rice in course cloth (burlap, cheesecloth ...) and put them in the bag with the robot.. will absorb quite a bit of left over moisture.

Put a few bags all around the electronics, tape a few to the motor exhausts (if they have them), put a bag in a ziplock bag with the cRio modules, you get the idea.

Good luck, I am sure the air out and rice trick will work...

Aloha,



Obviously you have never turned it on or will until it is sufficiently and completely dry.
