Re: Worried about weight ?

We understand the pain in this thread. The team had been so good with Solidworks keeping a weight chart for the robot [arts and thought they had 5 lbs. to spare. We had a parent bring in an industrial scale, thankfully, and poof they realized they forgot to add our clapper assembly as the robot's weight was at 135. After rebuilding the top of our four bar from 2X1 tubing to 1X1 tubing the robot weighs in around 119.5 with a better COG. We had to take off our fancy 3D printed numbers and second signal light though
