No, I don't think they'll do it. Plus, the NFPA says Fluid Power is:
' Fluid power is energy transmitted and controlled by means of a pressurized fluid, either liquid or gas. The term fluid power applies to both hydraulics and pneumatics. '
I think it's just a new pneumatics sponsor.

: 1- Fluids and electricity dont mix.
: 2- The weight of the robots would have to increase to accomodate the extra equipment and liquid.
: 3- Disney would have a fit if slippery liquids were spiled all over their nice green carpet at Epcot.
: 4- Danger of people falling while climbing in and out of arenas on spilled fluids.
: 5- Fluids and electricity dont mix.
