Actually your right but your hard pressed since wattage its hardly listed on most comunication RF devices and that wasn't what I was referring to. I believe its super high voltage that allows electricity to jump through air (I was referring to the spark generator thing). At least as far as I understand...
Frankly I would like to see a longer autonomous mode. This kind of plays on what Mr. Lavery was saying about adding difficulty and strictness of rules. Lets say that 1/4 of the time was spent in autonomous. Yes i know that its hard for teams to make autonomous modes that work well especially for new teams but I think it would be interesting to see how teams adapt. I guess what has held this back is that some teams with access to programmers would have huge advantage. Oh well, always trade offs.
