Exactly...wouldn't want to build this before kickoff anyway - it might have to be waterproof! My hope is that it can be backward compatible...not that something we make now becomes forward compatible.

My main concern was finding some way to create the modular connections that would allow us to plug it in and remove it easily and reliably. The PowerPoles look like the answer!
