Re: An Exercise: Pros and Cons Of A Water Game

Well, if the water comes in contact with a loose electrical connection (and my understanding of 'water conducts electricity' is correct) then the whole pool would become momentarily charged and if the other robots come into contact with the charged water (and they aren't insulated) they would be caught in a power surge which (to my understanding) would cause the circuits to overload and become unresponsive. Wouldn't it?
Can anyone tell me if this theory is correct?
