Think about it- we're FIRSTers. Therefore we can do anything we think of. People have created underwater diving robots that are submersible to very high water pressures. Why can't we?

If I were in the GDC, I would trust that every team could adapt their electronics to water. Every team has capability to accomplish a given challenge. Whether we like it or not, we need to face every challenge given to us. I thought that this year was going to be a huge failure. How could any allaince possibly score more than 6 ringers in 2 minutes. And the programmers are gonna have a good ol time working with autonomous. But I was wrong. We did it. And Nats is gonna be even better. I think we have proven that we can do anything, so bring on the water.

I do not fear FIRST having a water-based game, I look forward to it.
