What are you bagging and tagging?
 

This season has been a little hectic (to understate things) in terms of weather. As such, I'm sure a lot of teams out there are splitting up things and taking advantage of the increased weight limit of prefabs you can bring to a match.

What's your team doing?

Re: What are you bagging and tagging?
 

We're bagging our electronics board and keeping our entire mechanical robot, which weighs ~42 pounds.

Woah. I would never have thought of that.:yikes:

Re: What are you bagging and tagging?
 

It isn't clear to me, but do we have to bag and tag the bumpers or do we get to withhold them ?

Re: What are you bagging and tagging?
 

Bumpers do not need to be bagged.

Re: What are you bagging and tagging?
 

Bumpers are exempt from bagging and the 45lb withholding allowance per R18.

Re: What are you bagging and tagging?
 

Bumpers don't have to go in the bag.

Re: What are you bagging and tagging?
 

This should answer that question

Re: What are you bagging and tagging?
 

For the first time ever we are bagging a complete and hopefully after getting the programming dialed in today, a fully functioning robot for the first time ever!

Re: What are you bagging and tagging?
 

Don't forget that any modified spare parts or backups is also included in that 45 pounds.

Re: What are you bagging and tagging?
 

a 42 pound robot is going to get pushed around quite a bit...

Re: What are you bagging and tagging?
 

We have a 4 wheel independent swerve drive. We made 4 modules so far and the other 2 back ups will be made in the next week or so. we have a pickup and a shooter currently being made, and we are also bolting on the electronics (not behind at all). our swerve weighs about 7 lbs and 13 ounces fully assembled, and we have an insanely rigid frame. we think we will get everything in the bag this year, and if we don't our robot is on a sub module system. but you will will not see all the swerves in the bag, as we will be playing with them until the mod periods.
Good luck with whatever your bagging first teams!

Too be fair, they also have their electronic board...
So a total of 45 pounds :p

Re: What are you bagging and tagging?
 

Electronics board, battery, and some COTS weights we'll add for ballast at the competition.

Re: What are you bagging and tagging?
 

What's a ballast used for? I've heard the word when talking about trebuchets, is that what it's used for.
