I like the weight specs for this year. That battery not included stuff is awesome.

Trust me, come competition time, you will still be at least 1 pound over weight even though you have an extra 3 pounds to work with.

Luckily, this is not a problem, because it is very possible to remove as much as 4 pounds from your robot by drilling holes in non-structural components. This is probably the coolest part of the project, carefully swiss cheesing your bot. :yikes:

Lol, yeah, i am sure it will still be a bit over weight. However the robot that I was talking about was already "swiss cheesed". Yes drilling holes is fun, however I think that goes into the "freshman job field" right beside filing. :D

yeah especially when our drive coach (Moe) caught a team drill holes and draining the battery and weighing 13 pounds less... Its too bad we have to result to this... but its a good thing...

But the 'atwoods' run at a much lower rpm, negating the use of MORE gearing down. If you ask me the point is null

Yes, true, that extra 15 seconds can be very useful. I remember last year we capped a goal and barely got our arm off the ball, and then the buzzer rang. The refs had to look at that for a while. :D But of course i am sure similar things will happen in this years competition.
