That way, there is no incentive to tamper with the motor as someone else will have it in round 2 and 3.
Just a thought, fire away.

hi ALL,
I just received the official entry form and specifications for the MECA Challenge Round 1. Please see my ammended first post. The information on the first post is official as provided to me by Walter.
Please especially note the battery limit is 4200 for any class and the second round date has changed to the 2nd July. Sorry for all the confusion and iterations of specs. It is now finalised.
For the record, please also note that any grammatical errors on the first post (if any) are not made by me as I have simply copied and pasted what Walter gave me...
See you all at the MECA Challenge !
