Don't even get me started on this... I can't wait for CAN Talons.

Besides the flat surfaces this gives you to mate with, it also means you no longer have to worry as much about anything falling into the motors. My team is always hesitant to place any brass components (such as bushings) above the electrical panel after we blew a Jaguar that way in the past. Talons are going to be great, and likely sell like hot cakes when the CAN version comes out.

Same here. Estimate ~16 hours of CAD this week. I finished the drawings for our sheet metal sponsor today, which is nice.
