If we want to open up some of these choices we already have the materials in previous KOPs...

By limiting the power to one battery.... and also limiting the output to a single 100 amp breaker.... we could limit power.... (we already do this....)

We could also say... any motor... BUT you are only allowed
4 motors on 40 Amp breakers,, 4 motors on 30 Amp breakers and 4 motors on 20 Amp breakers but not to exceed 10 motors...

This along with the weight limit for the entire robot would really limit what a robot could do....and level the playing field

Judicious use of the power that you have would be necessary... (not unlike what we have to do now....)

I think that this would lead to a very interesting engineering experience involving the actual calculation of power loads and drains...

Many of the teams already do this but it would be much more real world.

I also really like the idea of giving three motors...CIM,FP, GLOBE in unlimited quantities but with the above restrictions on power use.

If a team chose to use 10 CIMS they would have some serious issues with Power consumption to deal with... (not to mention weight..)

Interesting proposal....
