As far as I can see about the 'cheating aspect' of designing before the 6 weeks, the whole point of FIRST is to learn. Designing one transmission during the build season does not allow team members to learn nearly as much as if you design a number of designs throughout the year. I go to a junior/senior high school, so we need all the experience we can get in as short of a time period as possible.

Anyway, the reason that I posted this is that it is rumored that we will not have the Bosch and CIM that we have had in the past years. So, I was looking for some speculation as to what FIRST might put in the kit this year.
