Halfway through build: How much does your robot weigh?
 

Ours weighs in at 68lbs so far.

Plenty of room to grow, but more than likely some speed holes will be happening in week 6 no doubt.

It wouldn't be a true 237 robot without speed holes.

How is everyone holding up with weight?

i agree about the speed holes 1323 hasn't had a robot without speed holes yet but its kinda hard to say how much ours currently ways seeing as we are waiting on some t-slot aluminum

Re: Halfway through build: How much does your robot weigh?
 

Without any holes we weigh in at a whopping 86 lbs! :ahh:

Re: Halfway through build: How much does your robot weigh?
 

93lb.

Yah.... were phat.

Re: Halfway through build: How much does your robot weigh?
 

48lbs, Looking good to us

Re: Halfway through build: How much does your robot weigh?
 

102, but that is with most of the functionality already intact.

As usual, we expect to be right at the limit (though not too far over, as only a couple of mechanisms still need to be added).

Re: Halfway through build: How much does your robot weigh?
 

Do you already have your mechanisms installed? I can't imagine a TRC robot being close to overweight, especially given your efficient chassis design.

I think we are at about 62 pounds with motors, sprockets, and chains, but without electronics and game mechanisms.

We are using the same kind of wheels as 492 this year -- we're hoping some of that Titan magic will rub off on us...

Ah.. heh... about that...

We haven't started building our final robot yet...

I can't believe how far behind we are....

Re: Halfway through build: How much does your robot weigh?
 

1.7 lbs. We haven't started building the real thing yet.

Re: Halfway through build: How much does your robot weigh?
 

Sounds like us. LOL
Actually we have a proto-type rolling chassis that ways about 60-65lbs. Our wheels alone wiegh almost 5lbs each!!!

Re: Halfway through build: How much does your robot weigh?
 

Hmmm...

We have nothing assembled as of yet due to a hang up getting funds from our BOE to pay for parts. So far, we have 1 6" shaft (5 more coming) and 12 pillow blocks. In total, our bot weighs two pounds based on our materials.

EDIT: Forgot, our two cylinders came in. The system weighs all of 5 pounds.

hehe Rick, we have everything but our hopper and the front loader, that includes battery and everything else. But we are always "close" to being overweight. If we are not we add more weight at the base.

And Rick, check your PMs! :)

Re: Halfway through build: How much does your robot weigh?
 

right now our chassis is pretty much done, weighing in at about 10-15lbs. Our drivetrain is almost finished, we are currently in the process of making our wheels which will be finished by hopefully in the next couple of days. Right now our drive train is gonna be around 25-30 lbs. As far as our "other" things on our robot we dont have a weight for those things yet but hopefully by the end of the week we can get a general idea.

Re: Halfway through build: How much does your robot weigh?
 

our frame weighs in at about 5 lbs...thats all we got so far...hehe :ahh:

Yea, we're at the same place :confused:
