I thought the weight/height rules last year were a good start. How about leaving the footprint the same and reducing maximum weight by 25%? That would generate some creative engineering, and force some serious priority-setting.

FRC robots have been pretty much the same since I've been with the program. I think it's time to start making some steam rise up from overactive brains.
