This has been covered before. Dave posted a while ago about a rained-on demo at JPL, the year before the L.A. regional started. Seems that all the robots just kept driving through the water, no problem.

You just have to insulate all the electronics.

Oh, yeah, while I'm remembering: www.h2orobots.org is a site you might want to check out.
