Re: Legal Counterweights

*Usual last year's rules aren't this year's rules disclaimer*

That being said, check out team 23 from last year. They robot was a 30 point climber and their battery was mounted on one of their arms, so something like this has been done before. Your mileage may vary though, as their arm did not move very far or very fast, and a trebuchet definitely will.
