Re: 2014 FRC's Biggest Loser

Right now we weigh around 116-117lbs

Our frame without anything on it is only 10 lbs

We have 6 cims and 4 mini cims, 3 banebots or andymarks(I cant remember) and a compressor

I thought we would be way over, but we designed our robot to be as light as possible

We just have to add Plexiglas around the sides for sponsors and a couple of lights

I hope we stay under!

BTW, 6 cims on your drivetrain is definitely an advantage, I would also take them off last.

Aslo: Maybe swiss cheese your robot? Ours is swiss cheesed for two reasons:
Save weight and to have somewhere for cables to run
