Re: Team Update #6

Biggest upset for me in now the NXT Brick. I'm not against completely, as cost wise we have a ton around from our Lego team we sponsor.

However

As mentioned before it's a lot of Extra weight that I know will drag our mini-bot design down. Also the NXT brick runs on it's own sets of batteries, so now thats double the amount of batteries you have to juggle to try to keep charged.

Looking at the risks vs. benefits on the pole issue, I just see that the risks IMHO aren't strong enough to take away the benefits.
