And we just bought 12 of them. Sorry IFI, we were about to buy 10 but this was an offer we just couldn't refuse...

I see a ratcheting subtheme. And braided steel cable. Winch game?

maybe that is what the new bearings our for. Idea what if you had to winch yourself off the ground for endgame.

The bearings with the groove around the outside, which come in eccentric and concentric varieties, are for the linear rail also avalible in FIRST Choice. It's leads me to think elevator game, rather than winch game.

Then again, we saw the same linear slides in the 2012 FIRST Choice, so take these indicators with a grain of salt. Besides some interesting indicators (IR remote anyone?), I would be very reluctant to deduce anything from this list other than that the Talon will be legal next year.
