At first I was for the increase to 15kg, like many I thought "wow more armour" but on second thoughts I remember what happened to just about everyone after the 12 -13.6 change. yep you guessed it, the night before the battle we where all madley drilling holes in things to get the weight down.

I would say there for to only change if the rest of the world changes.

No point talking about it any more. They changed the proposed standard to 30lbs for feather weights. Only the europeans will need to increase (in the middle of next year from the looks of it).

Now we just need to fix up the world standard on pneumatics.

Slightly OT

The international rulesets do need to be slightly tweeked so that we can move our bots OS without modification.

The US have so many spinners that their ruleset should be followed in that area and the UK/Europe has so many flippers that their ruleset should be followed for pneumatics, IMO.

I think we may need to wait a couple of weeks for the jury to come in with the final verdict.

The FRA and it's companion European organisations would need time to discuss this issue with their members and vote on any weight changes before any weight could be called an international standard.
