Re: 2006 Official Game Hint Discussion
While I agree with most of the water points above, I do have to say that it's NOT as hard as it looks. My engineering class built and competed with underwater ROV's last year. We made them out of PVC and standard 12V DC motor (I wanted to water proof some CIM's for it, but the teacher said no) we waterproofed them with vaseline and wax. All seven of them worked and were able to complete the challenge (picking up various shaped cans from the bottom of the swiming pool). In conclusion, I my opinion, it's not the logistics of building and underwater robot that's the problem, but that it's the venue and field setup that would cause problems...plus how do you test on a practice field?
