If the fan came with the Talon then it's use would be mandated, if FIRST decides to make it legal. Having the fan separate would allow teams to only use the fan when necessary thus allowing for a lighter design. Each fan weighs 16 grams, ten fans = 160 grams or .35 lbs. Teams would now have yet another way to "Trim fat".

The test setup can be found in the user manual.

Which problem are you referring to?
