FRC has decided to make parts of the New Control System reusable. That's right. If all goes well, teams will be able to reuse the cRIO, the modules, the bumpers, the digital side car, the power distribution board, the drivers station and a number of other items. We hope to keep costs down and reduce the impact manufacturing, shipping and scrapping these items has on our environment. With more than 1700 teams expected to participate this year, we can make a big difference with this small change in policy.

Above is a post from Bill's blog. Our team is attending 3 events if we have to cut the ring connectors off of the battery cables everytime we enter a new event we are being very wasteful. If we take 6 batteries to competition we will have used 12 before regional 1, 12 at regional 1, 12 at regional 2 and 12 more at regional 3 as well as 12 more when we get home for a total of 60 ring connectors. Hopefully the GDC will make an exception for batteries or hopefully I am misunderstanding the problem.

p.s. I may be purchasing ring connector stock anyone know any good suppliers.
