Re: New Control System

I think the control system may be too rugged... that thing weighs way too much. You can tell by the design of it that it was made for a table-top operation, and not for a weight-restricted robotics competition. I wonder if they will let us lighten the cast-steel casing which is a little overkill in my opinion... I took a look at it today and the circuit board comes off easily, so it could be done.

I'm not complaining that they gave us a very powerful new control system... I just hope they will let us lighten it (if the weight limit doesn't increase), because it doesn't look like they changed the design of the table-top version for our robotics competition.
