Unless you have specific knowlege of botteling electronics, understand how materials behave underwater or on contact of water, or knowlege of designing waterborn vehicles, you will seriously fail.



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!

This.
