Re: Maximum amount of stored energy?

I do not believe that there is a limit this year. The rules state that you can store energy as deformation of a robot part (as in a spring). that rule from last year was meant as a safety guard, to prevent pre-compressed springs from randomly going off and decapitating someone. As long as your device is safe, I don't think you'll run into any trouble.
