How Big? I build loads of aqua robots and I have found that the best way is
to get yourself some clear sillicon sealent and mould it arround your robots
frame (I like to make a clay cast for this). It is clear so your solar
panels/light sensors can also go inside, it is flexable so you can build
your robot with kinda musels inside and it will move like a
fish/ray/jellyfish... etc... (insert your creature here) makes your robot
near indestructable, well almost. The only problem is that if anything goes
wrong or you want to make a change you have to perform "Robot surgery" on
cna cut it open with a scaple. Then your left with a big scar down your
robot.
