hmm...I dunno if slimfast is well...fast enough you may need to use liposuction instead...just a thought... hey i wonder what if when they weighed it we put attached lots of helium balloons? it could work right?

4 days prior to shipping we were 35 lbs. overweight! :ahh: Needless to say hole drilling wasn't enough to get us down to the limit. First 5 weeks to build the robot. 4 days to redesign and build the robot again. After getting rid of all the 1/4" plate steel, our hopper, and replacing plate aluminum on our conveyor with canvas we weighed in around 105 lbs. The problem? We can pick up balls, we can shoot balls, we just don't have any place to PUT balls! AND our shooter is unshielded! So thursday at comp. we will be adding in the necessary redesigns.

After cutting as many holes as we could without losing strength, we only lost about 7 pounds. Thats when we decided to take off the lexan around our hopper. The day we shipped our robot, we replaced the lexan with some ... chicken wire (yeah, we're from the south). Actually the chicken wire ended up working better.

Few days before shipping: 115.4 lbs
Some stuff have been added after that, so I don't know for sure how much it weighs now.

hey, that works!!!



I wasn't there when they shipped but, considering our bot is so beautiful and made of like, the lightest stuff we could find, I think it is underweight.... last time I checked, beofre shipping like, the Saturday, that one right before I believe we were like, 75-100.... I hope we stayed that! ::hope hope hope::
