Water game wont happen, especially next year. Too many new hurdles to overcome. New competition structure in MI, new controller, economy sucking...etc.
Is a water game POSSIBLE? Yes. 842 has been doing it for a few years now. Will it provide as much inspiration? Probably, again ask 842. Would it be as good for the media? Oh no, water slows everything WAY DOWN. The excitement of FIRST (which is what makes it television worthy) is in that speed, in the glare of the metal on the gripper as it raises a 10 lb ball 8 feet in the air in under 2 seconds. That is exciting. A game where robots are moving 2 fps under 10 feet of water where you can barely see them? Im sorry but thats the real reason why a water game will never happen, its not marketable. This is why Dave keeps suggesting it, he clearly isnt a marketing guy
