So this year we get the super powered, Bobcat-arm from hell?

Capable of lifting cars and tossing them 8 stories into the air?

It's amazing i wished for the same thing John!! Arm From Hell!!!!........I only hope my team will see my vision....

frankly I think all the teams will be getting two new batteries, but the newer teams will be getting two sets, since all the vets have accumulated so many batteries ove the years. I know our big problem our first few years was that we didn't have any budget for new batteries so we always were short of charged batteries. maybe they've figured out that it will help rookie teams to have backup batteries.

Maybe FIRST is reusing the game balls from 2000 & 2001, those black and yellow inflatable balls all came in a 12" x 12" x 12" cube as i remember. They are inflatable, and older teams should still have them around.

With current technology, a fuel cell capable of even matchign the output of the batts would be giamongous. It would be liek 80 pounds at least by itself. Then the hydrogen system? Cooling anyone? I would love to see what happens when bots collide with liquid hydrogen on board. lol

Oh no!! Not the return of the egg shaped balls. It would be cool though to see a bunch of the bigger balls from 1998 and 2000.

Maybe it isn't the balls from 2000 or 2001... maybe something like the soccer balls from 2002. As I recall, the soccer balls were more consistant than the balls from 2000 or 2001. If they do bring back balls, I hope it is something like the soccer balls instead of those eggs from past years.

Remember the warning sticker on the inside lids of the 2003 Bins...

Warning sticker? I don't remember that...what did it say?

Random thought here, but if FIRST uses egg-shaped balls again, maybe it's because they're not as consistent as soccer balls...

i dont remember the exact wording or if there was any .. but there was a picture of a baby sitting inside of the box and the lid hanging above it and a big "X" over the picture warning people not to put babies in the boxes .. if some one has a picture of that to upload that would be great !!

That wouldn't work. Rookies from 2002 won't be getting the second box and they won't have any big balls as they haven't been used since 2001. Plus it really isn't fair since teams may have accidentally damaged or lost the old balls.

I still think it is the charger and/or the compressor and/or the joysticks as rookies and second year teams are the only teams getting them.

Always make sure to read the warning labels..

I understand that sticker caused enormous problems in the game design meetings this year. Due to that explicit warning, the game designers felt they were prohibited from putting the inflatable clowns in the boxes, and they had to find a new location for them...
