The current level of power allows a team to get going faster, in less distance.
With E= 1/2mv^2, this leads to substantial increase in energy storage in the average FRC robot.
These hits add up over time, and don't really add value to the game.
I would MUCH rather see a drivetrain power limit than a "rough play" rule... The line in the sand the rough play rule introduced was a real bummer.
I bet a lot of us (mentors and students) got into this line of work first because we wondered how things work, and stayed in it because we thought "I can make that work better". Thus starts a life-long battle between perfection and time. So far, time is ahead. - petek [more]
