Re: 2007 Kit

I am afraid that I have to agree with Dave on the battery issue. Batteries are a vital part of the robot. The ability to even the field is really important in some areas. This is no different than changing the Fisher Price motors or limiting the pneumatics. I know that our team only counts on batteries for 2 years and then they go to practice only status.

Teams have in the past planned on using the drill motors and they disappeared. the fact is we lost a sponsor or costs went too high. I remember reading of people complaining the the cost of regionals was too high yet when FIRST tries to be careful, everyone is complaining. What is it that we are asking for?
