Re: how much over weight

We were never actually overweight. We weighted the robot about a week agao, and we were....116 or 118, with a few things to still add on (lexan, hoses, a few more wires, etc). So we drilled holes in EVERYTHING. The entire underside of the robot, which was previously covered in nice, solid, .25 inch lexan, now looks like it got shot by a tank in about 50 places. We drilled holes in everything that did not need a whole lot of strentgh. We also removed some things and replaced them with lighter ones.
See you at the competitions. Remember- 1279 cold fusion robotics
