Compressors
I suspect that teams which have not used their pneumatics and which have saved their compressors would be willing to trade for motors, speed controllers, etc. There are probably 2000 unused compressors gathering dust in storage (assuming that the compressor has been the same for the past three years).

Joysticks
Since we can't modify the kit joysticks anyway, what good are they? We were already planning to do a fully custom OI this year because of that rule.

C/C++
I hope that FIRST supplies us with the C compiler for the PIC and that it is a good compiler. Otherwise, there goes another $500. [OK, I was just looking for an excuse to get a C compiler for the PIC.]

BTW, does anyone know if egcs can be set up for the PIC?

Battery Chargers
Well, we're all set for battery chargers. I've been giving them away to save room. But, teams that only have the 2003 and the piece of crap 2002 battery charger might wish for one more.

Eligibility
I almost started a pool to see when the eligibility requirements would be out and how late into the pre-season it will be before registration for Nationals is open. I'm glad that they're "play-testing" the rules before releasing them. I just hope the delay won't take them past the second regional registration deadline. That wreaked havoc last year (regionals filled up and then emptied).

Anyway, good for FIRST! It looks like they're really moving in the right direction. All of these changes (especially the RC) are for the best.
