I doubt that FIRST would implement a water tank. Water, which weights about 8lbs/gallon is very heavy. The force being exerted on the sides of a polycarbonate (Lexan) tank would be far too much for a 1/8" think piece of Lexan to bear without tremendous reforcement. The large quantity of 2x4s may lead some creadence to this clue, but if it was for a water tank, they would use thinker polycarbonate material anyway.
