Re: 8inch Mecs or 10 inch?

The 10" wheels look like they would run much more smoothly, but are not, I believe, FRC legal.

8.3.3.1 G states:

Quote:

If the modules are designed to assemble into a single configuration, and the assembly is functional in only that configuration, then the total cost of the complete assembly including all modules must fit within the price constraints defined in Rule <R22>.

So at $710, they would exceed the $400 limit.

But they are really cool....
