Well it hink the safety part is more a factor than the price...we made ours (see my post above) for about $50 each. However, it's generally not a good idea to mix water and electronics unless you KNOW what you're doing. I don't think FIRST would put that high schoolers in that kind of situation..land robots are dangerous enough
