Re: Rookie Question

Hi Joe

Let me first (pun intended) welcome you to the wonderful world of FIRST robotics. I hope you get a lot out if it and build a fantastic robot.

Question 1;
I'm pretty sure the weight limit for the shipping crate is 400 pounds. After that you pay for the overage. I'm not sure what the footprint is supposed to be but I know you must have two boards under your crate spaced 28" apart. This is so a forklift can move you crate around.

Question 2;

This is from last year rules but it will get you in the ballpark.

Hope this helps.
