A few years ago, I was helping out with the committee that brought the Mid-Atlantic Regional to NJ, and I had a chance to speak with a few of the FIRST people about the future.

I remember more than one person mention that the idea of an event in the water was being considered.

Of course, they were also thinking of having students actually sit 'in' the robots (not in the water year though), and we know that's not going to happen.

Either way, at least we know that the idea has crossed their minds.

My opinion...not gonna happen. It's hard enough to find an area large enough to build a normal playing field...now we'd have to find an indoor swimming pool that didn't mind giving up countless hours of the busy season so a bunch of people could throw greasy electrical machines in them. Now way.
