Now, tell me if you have changed your mind. :-)

Nothing smaller than a ping-pong ball inside or outside of containers please.... This includes water, even if it distilled and consequently is non-conducting.

Even something as big as ping-pong balls is asking for lots of trouble if they escape containment while above a robot(s).

PS: If you remain unconvinced, get permission to destroy a robot, and then try the sand experiment. :-) :-)
I guess you havn't heard about 116's robot surviving the torrential downpour at IRI 2005....
