We were joking around earlier this year about taking it a step further. Why soak the plywood when you can soak the whole bumper, pool noodle and all? We would have big buckets of water in our pit, and reattach the soaked bumpers before each match. This idea was later discounted when we realized that our technique would be easily recognized when we hit another robot and water splashes all over.
