I reckon something that doesn't involve lifting things (Last 2 years have been - Crates.

I dont think it will involve water, as the electronics inside, and so you spend £5000 ounds on the sdtuff then it sinks in testing and you lose it all.
If there were going to be a liquid involved it would not be water, water conducts electricity, you would get some nasty shorts, it would be a huge hazard and people would probably get injured. If they were going to use a liquid it would be some kind of non-conductive oil. The problem with is it would rather nasty to have to fix an oil soaked robot, the whole arena would be covered in oil unless they had some kind of clean up station you had to go through after every match. But it would probably help with the stank.... kind of an oil bath....
