Seriously though, teams at the Colorado regional get an extra like half pound with witholding at 45 pounds when compared to sea level. Also, their robot can then be like a 1.4 pounds more massive.

g at sea level is 9.80665 m/s^2.
g in Denver is 9.796 m/s^2. I just converted pounds to kg and back again. I didn't want to go screwing around in imperial units.

*I am not actually saying this is an issue.

EDIT: *******Wait, I definitely did that wrong. SORRY GUYS!
its only a half newton difference on a 120lb robot. so like a tenth of a pound at sea level.
