I don't wonder at all Dave . But I think it might have been more of a shock if you hadn't tipped your hand ...

Although I'm sure it would still shake things up - I suspect anyone reading this would likely expect that it couldn't happen.

I do, however, think one change might be in order. I agree with most that the weight limit should NOT be increased, but since we are changing out batteries throughout the competitions, and we are subject to "spot" weight checks (which I think are a good thing) I think the official weight should be spec'd W/O battery. I would like to see the limit at 120 (or whatever makes sense) without battery.
