The 24v thing is what's making me not beleave this.

I know (well, actually i just highly dought) that we will be using a 24v battery. This would make it so that all teams would need to buy new batterys as back-up. That also means new chargers. This is all to mention that i don't think that the computer can handle 24v besides can the pwm and spikes handel it?

However, if first does go with a 'throwing' type thing, i'll tell you a few things. I'm sure it would be a lot more like basket ball and not football.

Also, if they do stay with the carpet, i'd think it would be cool if they didn't allow metal 'moving devices' (That would really screw the track teams).

Lastly, I'm sure first will try to make the game easier to understand. The easier the game is to understand, the more people will watch it. (Not to mention that it would make robot demos 200% easier )

Remember all:

This is the Rumor Forum.
