Uh, someone please explain why they have to submerge the simulated test-capsule? I mean, what's the point? it's not like the robot will be outside in the water simulating surgery in partial weightlessness? Why couldn't they just put the test capsule in some room somewhere next to an engineer's cube?

Good point, but it is best not to question the wisdom of this....

I, for one, welcome the arrival of our metal, submersible skin cutting waterproof overlords.
