Tim! You think that's what Woodie meant about his stock market comment in Atlanta this past year?
Brilliant!

...A new and improved AM FIRST wheel with a stronger bearing holder (I hope FIRST doesn't abandon AndyMark's excellent design for Skyways wheels. AMs have so much more traction and are significantly cheaper to use) and a spur gear based KOP transmission

My dream: the return of the IFI breaker panel.

Likely reality: the same finicky rockwell distribution block

Re: The return of...

... the eighteen gallon tote?

... the hanging bar? ... or the limbo bar?

... the teeter-totter?

... the hexagonal playing field?

(So many possibilities. )

I agree. The AM FIRST wheels were WAY better than any of the old Skyways.

Re: The return of...

This is sort of correct, but not exactly. Let's just say that I will be involved this year, but not in the way that many of you may be used to seeing me (at events.) If you look at my current location listed in my profile, there's not much in the way of events out here, unless I wanted to travel to Manchester. However, if you know about some of the other projects I have been involved with in past years, that should send you on the right track...

My guess is that if they were sticking with a camera route, they may opt for the newer CMUCam3 and (hopefully) more support for the camera. Though something makes me think the camera has seen its last days as the tech FIRST will be pushing.
