Re: Australia Regional 2016
Yes, it should be a good competition.

I predict there will be a lot of robots getting air (Dukes of Stronghold) as they travel over defences, which should make it exciting. This is because a lot of teams have upgraded their AM14U3 to 8 inch Pneumatic wheels, and will be underweight. The fact that the AM14U3 uses a toughbox mini that has a maximum reduction of 12.75:1 meaning that teams can’t gear their chassis slower than 14fps and if they are using the standard KOP ratio of 10.71:1 their chassis will be geared for 16fps, which is very fast and probably not ideal.
