Well the reason I asked is because I too am one of the few stupid souls who volunteered to memorise the FRC rule book. I was worried I had missed something...

I believe that when inflated to the specified 2.5 psi, they weigh roughly 1 pound each.

Have you actually weighed it or is that just a guess? I need a fairly exact number

~1 lb. In other words, not much.

FIRST really gave us a break with the game pieces this year. Now the mainpulators don't have to be as beefy as the ones in the 05 game with the much heavier tetras, and you can't have more than one piece on your robot either, simplifying most team's design.

Not really. Have you considered the other gamepiece, which can weigh up to 148 pounds?!? (120lb robot+15lb bumpers+13 pound battery) :ahh:

Re: Weight of game pieces (Ringers/Spoilers/Keepers)

good point, you could have almost 300 lbs on your robot if you are doing 2. ouch, that can do a lot to aluminum.

It can, but we can most definitely build robots to support more than that.

Ummm....It's really hard to tell because the ringers will probably inflate and deflate throughout the match, until they get so deflated that the ref's will have to blow them up again. So, My Answer is, that it'll vary. ^_^

I wouldn't be concerned with the weight as much as their air resistance....
