2008 Game- Overdrive

I'm running on only about four hours of sleep after waking up early to see Obama's speech, so maybe I missed this, but:

Am I crazy, or is there no rule limiting the speed of projectiles this year?

My team is currently going over the rules now. I'll mention it and see what comes up.

in section 8, <R59> it says you are aloud to use up to 4 of the 2-1/2" CIM motors, 2 are in the KoP

this makes me happy.

for the projectiles, I just did a Ctrl + F on the manuel setions that look like they would involve "projectiles".

Now I don't know if this refrences the trackballs or not. I don't think it does, because the kick off animation showed a robot "kicking" a ball.
