I'd like a Segway too, Joseph
but I'm not getting my hopes up about the 20th.
I think you may be right Michael. While putting out the BOM early would let teams get going on the field sooner than previous years, is that the only reason that FIRST has decided to release it early? I dunno. Perhaps they want to release it early to allow time to gather hard-to-find parts, or maybe to allow for added time that will be required to construct a part of the field that is complex. I just hope water is not on the BOM
no water debates, please.
