| We'll be brining a few new goodies with us to the pond -- the new
lightweight regulators, lithium iron phosphate batteries, small
servos, cannons, and a new controller.
There are two new regulators. One is a 140 psi fixed regulator, 3.3
ounces, and 2.5 inches long. The end of the regulator extends two
inches past the end of the bottle top. It does need an on/off valve,
as it doesn't have a pin depressor. The other is a variable
regulator, and can go from 0 to just over 150 psi. It is 4.25 ounces,
3.25 inches long, and extends 2.6 inches past the end of the bottle.
It does have a pin depressor, so it can be used by either type of CO2 bottle.
The LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) batteries are great because they
are much safer -- they can be crushed, punctured, shorted, and looked
at funny without bursting into flame. They do have less energy
density than lithium ion batteries.
Ping us in email if you have any other questions, and we can send
along pictures as well.

| If it's easier for anyone, we'll be in NYC proper Sunday-Wednesday before the battle, at the Jarvis conference center, and can show off a couple of goodies. | | | |
