What if FIRST were to release the one rule that tells us which motors are legal and in what quantities well before kickoff (Game Hint)? It wouldn't give us any real advantage in knowing what to design for and all teams would be at an equal advantage. This would hopefully spread out the demand from a six week build season over a longer period of time and not stress our suppliers so much. We wouldn't run into as many problems with product shortages and lead times in the build season. This would be easier on teams and FIRST suppliers. Sure we could've purchased banebots motors and gearboxes before the season started, but we wouldn't KNOW that they would prove useful.
