Re: Robot Weight
Our team is on the fence with this. Assuming the majority of the teams competing are shooting for a weight near or equal to 120 lbs, we're more comfortable trying for a heavier bot due to the inevitable fact that if there are more heavy bots competing, a light bot would be pushed around.
We had this problem in the last competition, wherein our bot was lighter than the others, and the other heavier bots tended to push ours right out of the way.
It's a hard decision to make; sacrifice endurance for speed, or increase the weight for steadier shooting at the cost of a slower robot.
