Re: Robot Weight

It might not be a bad idea for a team to make their robot weight adjustable. Have some way to increase/decrease your weight by ~1 lb increments so you can match your alliance partners. "Our weight is adjustable. Robot A goes in the middle, we'll go opposite robot B and we've already calibrated our weight to 117lbs to match". Say that to a potential alliance before eliminations, and it could sway them to picking you!
