Yes, its heavy. But remember that contact is "encouraged" this year, and all below 8-1/2" from the ground. We will have all custom aluminum sprockets, NO pillow blocks, and extremely lightweight materials up top. We will not have a problem coming in under weight.
We do know how to manage weight ... don't forget, many people were amazed that this bot came in under weight ... ;) |
