Re: Weight
There are several important concerns that have been brought up here.
1. The 130 weight is a design constraint, part of the challenge.
2. Safety - 130 divided by two persons 65 each that is still a lot of weight if you fall or have a distance to go. A Major safety concern.
3. Next year I believe that the battery will not be included in the weight and there may be a gain if say FIRST decides that 120 lbs is the weight without the battery. A net gain of about 4 pounds or more.
No matter what the limit is set at, I believe that there will always be the "pushing of the limit" to build the best durable machine.
Teams that are consistently designing and end up with weight problems need to look at their design process and make corrections in "Weight Management".
