Re: Limitations too far?

If you guys are complaining about limitations now, I'm going to make a proposal for next year. I'll give you the details now, though.

It's one simple rule: "All robots shall be built using only what is in the KOP, plus $x from [insert supplier], plus a certain amount of a, b, c, and d materials from the local Home Depot." Oh, and the KOP will include items that are not in component form.

All I'll say is that it's happened before, back in the "Dark Ages" before alliances. I don't think it limited creativity one bit.
