Re: Finally the year?

That is exacty my point not all teams have access to test the robot. You said it yourself mecanicalbrain, "if you really need to test it most, note i say most not all, cities have some place where their is a indoor pool it could be a rec center or YMCA." There will be plenty of places that dont have a pool for testing purposes. Low budget teams in remote areas should still be given a fair chance at completing the tasks in the game. If they are able to test it, i think that it would be fair.

How would you be sure it works without testing it? If it were not tested how would you know that the bugs were all worked out?

they could indeed test how waterproof it was in a tub, but it may not be the best thing to do. The robot might not fit in the tub, or it may not allow enough water to cover the componets of the robot.
