Re: [FRC Blog] - NASA Grants and Something New for 2015

I don't think the number of teams fielding robots per match will change, mostly because of the AndyMark field having 6 driver stations. They're not going to go any wider because the field (and required field equipment) already takes up pretty much a whole gym floor. I can see height/weight requirements changing. I don't see bumpers going away, but rules about design may change. I can't really see a 2x2x2 game with the AndyMark field setup (as 1 alliance would have their drivers separated). I could see some of the motors going away completely (taking away the CIM would really make things interesting). I could also see taking away motor quantity restrictions, which is something that's been lobbied for for some time now.
