i just don't think that FIRST would allow this to be leaked now. granted, no ones going to go run with this info, as it's not a confirmed source. oh well, 2 more days, then we find out for sure...

THere is also a version of the Victors specific to 24V, if you look into some of the battlebot threads, overvolting specific motors (ones that can handle it without self distructing) can give a huge power boost. Also the motor to have is the 24V DeWalt Hammerdrill so maybe if we aren't getting BOSCH's this year they are stepping up to some more serious motors.
In the near future automotive will also be stepping up from what I hear it may be up to 48V.
