Rescuing wet electronics
One of our outreach robots was the victim of a flash flood, and collected a significant amount of rainwater (while powered off) before being safely stowed.

Almost all electronics (PDB+fuses, Talon SRs, cRIO, DSC, breaker, relays, solenoids) were exposed to this water. No voltage has been supplied to the robot after its exposure to water.

What's the best way to go about ensuring that electrical components/the robot can be safely used again?
