Re: Newb question: weight limit
I guess it needs to be mentioned somewhere in here that batteries (assembled with the wires and connectors) are NOT part of the 30 lb allowance and do not have to be bagged.
[R26]
Teams may bring a maximum of 30 lbs of Fabricated Items to each competition event to be used to repair and/or upgrade their Robot at the competition site. The Operator Console and any battery assemblies (see [R03]-A) are not applicable.
[R03]
The Robot weight may not exceed 120 lbs. When determining weight, the basic Robot structure and all elements of all additional Mechanisms that might be used in different configurations of the Robot shall be weighed together.
For the purposes of determining compliance with the weight and volume limitations, the items listed below are not included in the weight assessment:
the 12V battery and its associated half of the Anderson cable quick connect/disconnect pair (including no more than 12 in. of cable per leg, the associated cable lugs, connecting bolts, and insulation) and
Bumpers (including Bumper covers, if appropriate).
