Task Description
In order to deliver water, we’ll need somewhere to store it, this task is to design what we use to do so. We’re open to ideas for how we do this, but it needs to be fully sealed other than the pump inlet and outlet.
The tank can be made by us somehow, or can be a modified existing water tank of some kind, but you’ll need to figure out how this mounts to the drone.
If you have ideas to be able to “dump” the water from this (ie don’t need an exit pump) that will not leak, please write them out and we can discuss, but the initial scope of this will be just a tank solution.

Initial Ideas
We can experiment with how water-tight various 3D print materials are at different infills, then pick the lightest.
Ideally light weight PLA would work for this if we’re 3D printing, but off the shelf tanks should be investigated as well.
