Its easier to solve a problem when you have a positive attitude about it.  |
FIRST wouldn't let teams use the old, non garbage connectors for the battery leads, because a few teams couldn't use them properly, causing a safety hazard, so I don't see a snowball's chance in hell of introducing water to electronics, where a lot more than a few teams will screw up big time, ruining thousands of dollars worth of electronics, and creating very big safety risks.
No matter what FIRST does to ensure safety at a competition, the potential for disaster is unimagineably large when teams are unsupervised at their own facilities.
