Exclamation Weight Specs for FIRST competition
Our team just received the shipment for the controls for this year's robot competition. We noticed that, after assembling all the sections needed for controlling the robot (not the driver's board) onto a test-board, we noticed that the new controls system is considerably heavier than its predecessor. My question is did FIRST change the weight limit for the robots in this year's competition because of the fact that the new controls system is heavier than the old controls system?

Thanks-
