[Robotgroup] hostile enviro

[Paul Atkinson]

I've seen PVC used around hot, cold and salt water. I doubt it'll hold up to
freezing water under any pressure though.

We used stainless "containment vessels" for extreme testing in a previous
career, but again freezing water under pressure will create problems.

Simple version might be a cast iron pot. They have sloped sides from the
casting process, so ice should "rise" in the pot rather than creating enough
sideways pressure to crack it.
