Heh. Reminds me of another "good reason" to make a change.
Ever notice how sometimes the GDC changes the size requirements, seemingly at random? Kinda makes you rework your favorite drivetrain to fit the new sizing. I seem to recall (way back in the day) rumors about rumors about teams pre-building a drivebase before the season, then putting manipulators on top. Next thing you know, the dimensions change...
Could be a move just to shake up everybody. That, and... *drumroll*
...FIRST has not announced a replacement for the 775s. Which could very well mean that there isn't one--or it could mean that they'll be springing it on us at Kickoff! Could you imagine watching Kickoff and finding out that there's a replacement motor in that class?
