It is actually a bit smaller and lighter than the old system, AND has a insignificantly smaller total path resistance.
It carries 3 switching power supplies to generate the voltages necessary to power the cRIO, the camera, and the wifi.
It uses interesting connectors which do not require crimping, and has "blown breaker" blinky lights for each of its thermal breaker slots. Remember, more blinky is more better.
It can also leap tall buildings in a single bound, violate zeno's paradox of motion, cure cancer (in electrons), and (when flipped upside down) hold three slices of delicious pizza.

I would have bet money that they said that in Atlanta, but I must be wrong (darn, I hate it when that happens...).
That must have been what they were trying to explain to me in Atlanta, but the work being done in all the pits drowned out the voices of everyone that talked to me.
Well excuse my previous post. I've corrected it.
