Weight
Hi, Garrett from 16, the Baxter Bomb Squad
I know this is a little late for this year's competition, but when we design our robot we go about weight distribution a little differently. Rather than just adding "dead weight", we try to move components of the robot that we need, the battery is a great way to shift a robots Center of Gravity, as are electrical components, motors (where feasible), and pneumatics (if used). Keep in mind that moving some of this does add weight, usually by adding a few more inches (or feet, as the case may be) of wire.
