The older rules were pretty good at keeping the playing field standardized.

I really like the increased volumes of air storage with the new rules but we could write the rules like the motor restrictions of the banebot motors or the bag/mincim. "Your allowed X amount of the following approved tanks"

So teams could max out volume with the larger ones, use smaller ones for better packaging or mix and match how they see fit.

Just a suggestion for a possible number for amount of tanks, i am thinking of 8. I think that might represent the upper limit for teams but for 987 that might be more like the median of their usual quantities.
