Weight weight weight. What we've done is got the important parts: motors, latch, frame, and such set in the robot, or have the real estate saved, then over estimate the weight of those parts. Those left, such as ball handling, pneumatics users and so on have to conform to the weight AND space constraints set for them from the important stuff. Basicall plan ahead, and don't be afraid to cut an unecearry part of the robot when it comes down to it.

2 weeks left almost to the day. Good luck every one!
