water?

I am not going to argue whether or not the battery could hold, but i don't really think that the battery would be the problem. The motors on the other hand don't like water. The logistics behind building a robot that is fully submersable and yet still can be worked on are too great. What happends when your robot breaks and you have to crack the seal to replace a speed controler, i just don't think it would be worth it. and also i am a human player and i don't really feel like rolling up my pants and dragging a 130 pound robot out of a puddle 4 times a day. thats all i have to say about water. I do think that obstacles would be cool though, just not water. what do you guys think should replace the balls this year?
