Re: Raising the $3500 limit?

I think the $3500 limit is pretty comfortable. As said in an earlier post getting rid of the electronics cap is a good idea. If a team wants to spend a good chunk of the $3500 on a custom circuit or electronics let them. Raising the $3500 limit doesn't sound like a good idea. FIRST already relaxed the rules this year, also eliminated the ban on exotic materials, AND if they decide to also raise the amount the more unfair the game will be between teams, especially rookies and teams with no or limited sponsorship.

My two cents
