Re: What do YOU want in the Kit of Parts?

I think allowing us to know a general list of parts allowed before is a great thought, but it really would only help veteran teams. Rookie teams with no real veteran support in thier area wouldn't have much of a clue of what they'd really need for compitition. Not everyone in the first world really comes on here, so rookie teams that are completely unaware of CD would be hurt by a reduced/eliminated KOP. I know our team every couple of years just recycles the stuff we don't use anymore (due to new rules/stuff going bad) and it helps raise some funds for our team plus the junk just doesn't end up in some landfill somewhere. And as far as limiting creativity with the expansion of the motor selection to allow for more of one type, creativity can be limited because of unreliablity in the motors we have. I know our team alone burnt up almost a dozen rs-550's this past season, so where's the encouragement to use those motors again if we had so many problems with them these past few years
