I can think if several reasons for the ruling.

1) It makes it easier for judges. They con't have to INSPECT to make sure you have a particular speed controller n a particular motor on a particular fuse.

2) Its called leveling the playng field. It will keep older teams from having such an advantage over rookie teams.

3) Then there is of course safety....probably the big reason. Another 30% current is not insignificant....(though safety also goes along with reason #1)

1) The electrical system should have all the wires traced anyway to make sure it is the proper gauage for the motor and fuse used, and the maxi breakers are hard wired anyway so finding their attatched victors shouldent pose a problem, just in the same way they must trace a relay to a motor to make sure it is legal

2) It would be less of an advantage because it does not have the same current and it does not allow you to use all of the power as mentioned above, only advantage would be not having to pay $$ but at the same time having a old victor

3)If the victors are attatched to the correct fuses there is no safety hazard

Also what if a team bought 5 victors from years before, are they useless just because they dont have the same features that first feels we need? I guess our team will have to cut down spending in other places, like for the nats because of this extra 650+ expence.
