Already been debunked. So has the entire concept of a water game (unless you happen to be in the underwater robotics competition that team 842 is putting on). "Logistical nightmare" sums up half the objections; "electrical nightmare" sums up the other half. For more information, do a search on "water game".

I don't think they would have the balls again. Cause a couple of years ago, I heard the game with the balls kinda failed

Balls are the most likely suspect. The pattern for the past few years has been balls, something crazy, balls, something crazy, repeat as necessary. Also, it's hard to find something that isn't a ball that is a) available nationwide in the dead of winter (or can be made that way) and b) relatively easy for a robot to handle. That isn't saying that the pattern can't be broken, though. (And the '04 game was designed more for hanging, while the '06 camera scoring system was not implemented very well. Nothing wrong with the cameras, just the software.)

2008 will be the first year where a one-sided field will be utilized, a la Moebius. This should save wear and tear on the carpeting.
