I believe the general consensus every time the idea of a water game is brought up is that the electrical wiring would be too difficult for many teams. Teams have problems wiring the robot now -- a lot of those teams would be at a loss because of water. It's not the fact that water's a poor conductor of electricity, just that it IS a conductor and it's a liquid. It's much harder to insulate against water because it can get just about anywhere because it's a liquid. And I doubt a "safety" manual would provide enough instruction to properly waterproof the robot (what about the motors?). And about '93, I knew about the water in the balls but why would FIRST refuse to comment on it?
