Heavy weights that act like BB's? Personally I like the challenge the weight limit imposes. And as for making things more like BB - I'm totally opposed. Battlebots suck and there's no real ingenuity in building a robot tank. If we were all attempting to make BB's, do you think we'd have all these insanely awesome drive trains (crab, omni, etc) and cool arms (telescopes, stackers, etc)? What good would it do if you're just trying to bash each other?
I am in total agreement, I think it would be highly unlikely that FIRST would do a weight devision game like what has been suggested, I would have to say that they would not do it, because of what you said about turning FIRST into BB. It's something I certainly don'r want to see.
