First time underweight since 2003.

You mean you won't be drilling this year? You mean you will be leaving the bot alone and be relaxing in the stands?

The world is gonna crack.

Come on Bill, it would be true Lunacy for me to relax in the stands - I would be the one to crack. No, I will be frantically trying to add weight in a sensible way. You know - just trying to add some functionality to keep up with 71, 16, 217, 1114, etc. I got 5 pounds to play with - wow!

5 pounds is more than enough to add an LED display that states "1114 would just be 4 without 111," "Beatty Least," and other witty comments.

I'd reccomend going old school and add the rotating light. We've always wanted to have the weight for it on a 177 bot.

I know just before ship we were about 15 pounds under weight. Last year we added a 8 pound weight in the back of the robot.
we are going to find some way to use the extra weight to our advantage.

Normally, hood ornaments go on TOP, not underneath. Are you now a mascot??:D

5 pounds under?!? No more swiss-cheesing at Midwest?!?

Anyway, looks great, guys. I spy some familiar components on the robot, and I can't wait to see the whole thing. I'll be watching the Midwest webcast - don't disappoint! And Raul, I guess you are always up to your usual antics...

Hmmm - there must be something to this simple and underweight thing.

I'm printing this out and bringing it to next year's brainstorming sessions when you propose we build a crab base and a 5 jointed arm that extends to 15' tall.
