Re: pic: 2009 Distribution Block

There are few things that will make me happier than the removal of the current block from the KOP. I've had a wire come out and kill my robot or part of it at least three or four times (including one match at this year's Championships) since that part was introduced. All I have to say is, good bye, and good riddance!

I'm also a big fan of having a consolidated block for all power distribution. The old IFI block from 2005 was one of my favorite KOP additions, and I was very sad to see it replaced with (IMO) inferior components in recent years. Good to see that FIRST is developing a much more robust power block for 2009.
