Exactly, plus teams would have to practice somehow. Rookie teams that year would be absolutely screwed. Not every team has the ability to have a pool for them to practice in. Then even the teams that might be allowed to use a pool, say from a local YMCA, could not be allowed to have it isolated for as long as they would need it to practice. For safety reasons (electricity and water) there would not be anyone in the water with the robot. I just don't see a water game in any form ever happening.
