There are 11 weeks until kickoff in New Hampshire! My mind wanders more each day toward the arena, the noise, and the clash of the robots. Think we can push and shove a little more this year? Will we be allowed more structural materials? Will the parts budget be icreased from $425? Will the maximum mass restriction be increased? Any new motors added this year? Or same old? Will the robot be required to lift itself or anything else (like its partner robot) off the floor? What will the game piece be? Will there be ramps? Vertical chutes? Will pneumatics be a viable entity this year?
