Re: Low weight we can bring to the event
Last year my team took advantage of the upped withholding allowance to bring in a new robot. During Midwest we placed 2nd to last, with a robot that could barely move. Over our Spring break we built an entirely new frame, switched to mecanum, and rebuilt our kicker. To fit in the 65 pound limit last year, we had to take apart our transmissions, mecanum wheels, and pneumatics (COTS parts don't count towards the weight limit). On Thursday at 10,000 Lakes we put the puzzle back together, and managed to place 7th out of 63 teams.
This year, with the 30lbs withholding, we are probably not going to be using it quite as extensively as last year.
