Weight Watching
Just wondering how everyone is doing with weight constraints. We are actually 8lbs underweight right now, which we can not believe. We are right around 112.

Re: Weight Watching
Oops, we have a problem! 12lbs must disappear...

Re: Weight Watching
Well, due to time running out we ditched our ramps giving us 40-45 pounds to play with. So we are about 43 pounds underweight last time I checked.

Re: Weight Watching
unfortunatly we are about 8lbs over. we need to do some serious cheeseholing in the already cheeseholded components
|
Re: Weight Watching
last check (with everything we could think of sitting on the scale with the bot), was about 105
|
Re: Weight Watching
We weighed in only a few pounds overweight but we can...we think that we can easily get it under before ship date arrives.

Re: Weight Watching
if you need a few pounds of leverage and cant bring yourself to make your frame any hole-ier try switching nuts and bolts to aluminum or sacrifice some bracing.

Re: Weight Watching
We're 6 pounds over, with some serious speed holes to put in...
It's such a fun process, weight reduction, isn't it? :rolleyes: |

20 lbs under as of earlier this week. (9.072 kg for you international folks to compare to) That was before guards and stuff for electronics of course. |
Re: Weight Watching
we are about, oh 30 lbs over, were a rookie team and I am excited to drill some holes!:D
|
Re: Weight Watching
Last I heard, we were a pound or so over. We still have room to take out weight though.

Just speaking from my past experience, you may want to think about pulling some assemblies or full components off. Unless you have a lot of solid blocks of aluminum that you can mill out, 30 lbs is a really hard target to reach with just cheese holes. Best of luck though! |
Re: Weight Watching
Currently our current chassis and weight estimations for parts not on the robot are putting us around 123-4 lbs total. For a 120 lbs robot. We haven't done any cheeseholing yet and so i feel confident we can lose the weight. Good luck everyone with your weight issues (or lack there of)

Re: Weight Watching
Well, our chassis is currently over 70 pounds. We're taking the entire robot apart and reassembling it in the next 3 days. Please wish us luck, we're gonna need a little miracle here...
