And lets not forget that only the signal light, not the CPU need to be visible from 3' in front of the robot in its starting position. That is a nice change.

And the flag is gone, too... it actually was a bit of a pain to figure out how to mount it and was a limiting factor on design (at least our designs) the last three years. Not a major, factor, perhaps, but a real one.

But most of all, I like the fact that having a slippery playing surface forces a paradigm shift on all the teams' drivetrain designs. You can bet everyone is re-thinking their robot literally from the ground up this year!
