Re: Robot Weight

Due to a few errors in a spreadsheet (ounces, pounds...same-same, right?) We weighed every part on the 'bot as it was built and came back at 137. After a whole Saturday of aluminum and polycarbonite dieting we'd only reduced 8 lbs! Then the same guys who came up with that total caught their error (8 hours later during a re-weigh of every stinkin' part. We were 118 BEFORE the diet....*sigh*
