I do however think the change will be to smaller and less powerful motors for a variety of reasons, primarily safety and leveling the field between vets and rookies. I think the most powerful motor we have next year won't be more than an FP. Well see in January I guess.

while i agree with you that first is conserened with safty i know that FIRST needs good coverage in the news and on tv so while smaller motors would make the game more of a challenge but nothing sells robotics like a rough and tumble match where a robot gets smashed



btw i heard there will be NO kit of parts this year for veteran teams
