First of all, I want to thank you for producing such a polished game and manual and especially for making it public. One quick question, why change the motor rules from Ultimate Ascent? I thought the 2013 motor rules were very heavy on high-power motors, but these rules are even heavier (6 CIM, 4 banebots, 4 BAG, and 4 Mini CIM!?). Not really a problem, just something that caught my eye and I would like to hear the reason behind this.

Also, according to the manual, Ultimate Ascent R03 would still apply, limiting robots to 84 inches tall at all times. Is this a mistake? Unless I'm completely missing something, how are 84 inch robots supposed to score on 10 foot poles?
