1992:
Motors - seat motor was the biggest
Batteries - no battery - tethers were used
Weight - about 30 lbs.
Size - about 2ft x 2 ft x 2 ft
(FIRST had to actually up the voltage through the tethers at the finals due to the fact that many teams could not operate at the low voltage which was being supplied... something like 6 volts, maybe)
