Re: Most obsessed

In 2003, the robot had to shipped in a few hours. We just finish getting all of the arms and such on the robot and had it up and running. Then someone had the genius idea of weighing the robot. We get the scale and the robot is .5 lbs under weight, but just one problem we forgot to weigh the battery. So its 3:00 am the robot is overweight and fedex is coming at 9:00am. Me and a few others stay in the shop taking all of the arm systems off the robot that we had spent all day putting on and got the robot to proper weight. Its hard spending weeks and weeks designing and building an arm and have to take it off before it is even used. It took all day to put it together but only took 2 hours to take it apart. Needless to say we have learned our lesson, but this year the battery is already taking care of. . .
