The volume and mass of seabee are such that it is slightly positively buoyant, meaning that it will eventually float off to infinity in the current physics simulation. This makes it difficult to study the robot visually. We should make a mode in which the robot's z position is zeroed at every timestep.
We might also want to simulate the surface of the water at some point, although this wouldn't really be useful during competition.
