Even I don't know it all, and I assume the vast majority of the FRC community doesn't either, so why the continuous request?

Pneumatic leaks will be devestaing, flooded cables will be fun, and everyone that uses lubricants, good luck with using it in a wet environment.

P.S. I think a realistic game would be another sports based game. I think those are easy to understand, easy to explain, and draw-in the non-FIRSTers which help "Make it Loud". A welcoming challenge would be to shoot footballs or maybe robot hockey. I have always wanted to do a robotic bowling game!
The water game is an old joke that comes up every year. We all know it's not going to happen, and I don't think anyone would actually want a water game.
