Re: Weight? Estmate weight?
 

I see a huge number of teams struggling to meet the weight limit (more so than usual... :rolleyes: ). I can't foresee it being really easy to build a 100 lb, 6 ft. 'bot without sacrificing something.

Re: Weight? Estmate weight?
 

Last estimate, a hair over 95 pounds. And about half to 3/4 of that is actual weight.

Re: Weight? Estmate weight?
 

We plan to have both an arm that can reach all three levels and a ramp that can lift 2 robots.... I'm betting week 5 will tell us to sacrifice something.

Re: Weight? Estmate weight?
 

The bare chassis is about 20lbs. With motors, electronics, chain, and more bolts I'd say around 50lbs. for the whole moving chassis....this is gonna be tight.

Re: Weight? Estmate weight?
 

Yeah, we have the control board being built right now, but the chassis alone is just 18 pounds with the wheels(no motors or chains) but were are shootin for the 4-foot 120 pound bot so things are looking good.:cool:

Re: Weight? Estmate weight?
 

Our bot wieghed in today at 113 pounds. In theory everything is on it. We will see.
