Re: What is wrong? [HELP]

Stop bragging about being under weight.

Seriously though not knowing the details of what your robot looks/performs like it's hard to answer that question. I can list possible places you could have missed but I need more info.

Is your frame too thin/weak?

Do you have normally have pnumatics but not this year?

Are there fewer sensors?

Did you use a different drive system than normal?

Is your robot really short?

did you use just the smallest motors in the lkit?

Are you lacking protection/shielding around your electronics to prevent balls from sticking in your robot?

Is your robot not the full 28"x38" that you're used to?

Just some stuff I though of quick.
