Re: Can we fill our wheels with water?

Guys, this seems like a serious question, and a lot of these answers really aren't helping.

Look at the blue box under R9. The blue box provides "examples of items that will violate R9". In that list is:
Quote:
G.Hydraulic fluids or hydraulic items
Typing "hydraulic fluid" in google gives, before any links, a paragraph that starts "Common hydraulic fluids are based on waste, mineral oil or water."

Water is a hydraulic fluid. Hydraulic fluids are specifically listed as something that violates R9. R9 is a robot rule that must be followed to pass inspection and play. Thus water is illegal. QED.
