In an Ideal world all would agree the new 2.4GHz systems are far better and if writting the rules from scratch the older type '40MHz' sets should not be allowed. Personnally I dont have a problem with this, but when a lot of respected people voice their concerns of an out right ban I think it needs looking into. Maybe what it should say is that all new robots should use 2.4GHz/459MHz systems and if you want to use something else contact the EO first.

Since this appears to have missed the usual consultation peroid with its members that major rule changes go though I guess its too late now anyway.
