I have to say, I'm not too thrilled about having to pack these suckers into our robot... In the past, electronics have already been a squeeze. We shall see, though.

On the plus side, it seems like it will be slightly harder for us to drop shavings and chips onto the H bridge, and fry them! This is good, because high school students seem to have an impressive ability to fry any electronic system you put in front of them...

Jaguars and Victos weigh approximately the same. I know from holding them and comparing; there is no noticable difference unless you put it on a very accurate scale.

I simply cannot get over the size difference. I'm really not a complainer, but having controls aspects adding more weight, and taking up more space, on the robot is not exactly something I am looking forward to. I guess we'll just need to not put as much mechanical stuff on inorder to make weight and size.

It depends on the limits this year. I'm sure they'll take the new system into consideration when making the rules this season.

As stated earlier the new Jaguars dont weight that much more than the Victors. Size wise they may be larger but perhaps we will stop seeing the electronics being shoved in wherever they will go. We will just need to be more careful with our designing. With any luck it will FORCE teams to clean up their wiring and electrical boards.
