To use more current, we'd need bigger motors. Bigger motors increase robot power and also mechanical stresses, thus requiring more strength (and therefore more weight) in the mechanisms that use them. And of course more powerful robots would require a more robust field to contain them.

I think the robots are wearing out the carpet, field boundaries, field elements, and game pieces fast enough as things stand now -- more power is not needed.

More (robot) intelligence is.

Lol.. I beg to differ my frined. I believe there rae ways you can strenghten the field and you can double lay the carpet or use other equally good fabric or something for the carpet and they can give us 10 lbs on the bot ?? Lol

We can dream cant we?
