But that is just me.. also historically looking back when gas FIRST ever changed the game that much.. usually they are small changes like last year they said there is no throwing white frisbees.. but all in all I suppose it is quite suspicious that there is a truss that can hold ~1800 pounds ...why woud it hold 1800 lbs. When 6 robots weigh about 900 lbs ..

There is a BIG difference between static load bearing capacity and dynamic load bearing capacity. Typically you should double or triple the load bearing capacity for a dynamic load. FIRST Robots? Better believe they're a dynamic load.
