Ideas about the KOP content, if you are serious about the suggestions, should be collected and provided as feedback after the upcoming season - after you have a chance to see what is in the 2006 KOP and have a chance to react to it appropriately. Then you can provide them via any similar threads that are started next summer or - more appropriately - at the summer team forums.

Does this mean it's too late to ask for a flux capacitor?

But seriously I would be content with a kit virtually identical to last years as I was very happy with it and the work that people like JVN and Paul Cioppoli did with the transmission. I felt it was the best balance of giving the rookies what they need to get started quick and the veterans got a few things they could use to prototype really quick. All in all even though there was room for improvement in some areas I thought last year was the best kit since I've been involved with FIRST in giving everyone a fighting chance to get in the game.

Also if I've learned anything in 3 years doing this an "revolutionary" changes in the kit will make there way here quick so we are prepared. That said I would like to finally make it to a mentor debrief meeting one of these years to make a few comments. The only reason I haven't is they have conflicted with business trips 3 years running.
