The new water game has been announced
http://h2orobots.org/zindex.htm
Looks like fun, we get to make a torpedo this year! and a rotating manipulator looks very helpful.
There’s an eastern competition (PA) planned, so you guys out east have no excuse now 
We are still looking for Seamus to do the video on the details of the mission. It should be out in a couple of weeks!
I showed this to my team today (we are Maryland based) and there is a great deal of enthusiasm for the east coast event! There is already a professor at one of our local universities that builds underwater robots, so we hope to add this event to our FRC team. Keep in contact!
