Just think if FIRST made flying or rather 'hovering' a spec in the game.

Certain teams would have the upper hand, yes, (Boeing, NASA, Leer, etc.) but what about all those car companies and car component companies that sponsor teams? (Delphi, GM, Ford, DiamlerChrysler, etc.) maybe if that happened, FIRST would change the technological course of everything and while teams with auto sponsors were building their robots they were really becoming stepping stones to the hovering cars often depicted in futuristic movies!!

hey, it could happen. i wouldn't mind a flying svt cobra, would you?

just a thought.

Even worse, what happens at the kickoff, when they get volunteers to act as robots?
