Re: Weight Saving Techniques
If the weight limit is 120 lbs, we try to design to 100 lbs. That way when we come in over our intended weight, we still aren't overweight.
In 8 years, there's only been one time (Lunacy) we were overweight at competition, and that was because we were attempting to hit 120 lbs exactly. Fortunately, we had plenty of extraneous steel ballast on the robot that could be removed to bring us down where we wanted to be.
In all the other years, I doubt we've been over 115.
