Consider yourself corrected...

I'd be inclined to agree: no bigger than allowed--that means some batteries in there to power everything, and batteries aren't the lightest things in the world as a general rule.


Though I do agree on the use of standards as vision targets. As currently written, there is nothing that would prohibit that (though Ryan's suggestion of giving partners standards is probably going to be pushing it; after last year's cheesecake epidemic, I would expect a mild rules/interpretations tightening). I wouldn't be surprised to see some teams with several variations of standards...
