I'll start with mine:
I dislike the rule for the backup battery charger (quite frankly from what I've read, IFI's design doesn't work, and they even put a disclaimer on it)

I also dislike the rule for the power distribution blocks. Put together, it weighs about a pound, and along with the different breaker panels, it weighs around 2-3 lbs

Let me know what you think!
(oh, and it doesn't have to be just with the robot, can be any area!)
I would have to agree with the power distribution block all it is is more weight and it s pointless. all it does is power that huge light the is way excessive. I liked it when we just had the straight wiring into the circuit board and had the small light weight flashing lights they were so much nicer that the huge yellow light that ridiculous. Also the new Radio control is ridiculously huge, and the aren't nearly as reliable. Are radio was having signal problems and then half the time it would randomly cut out when we were testing it in the shop. Let me know what you think about some of the new rules.


Just be glad they took out the rule about no machines in the pits. {e.g. saws, grinders, etc} That was just retarted.
