Unfortunatly we are only limited to 30 pounds. The arena that we *should* have access to is deisgned for 30lbs. Depending on the class you choose, you can look to spend somewhere in the vicinity of:
150g~$30-$100
1lb~$30-$400MAX
3lb~$60-<$500MAX
12lb~$100-<$600MAX
30lb~$no limit
*NOTE these MAX numbers are for some of the robots that I have seen who have sponsors, and spare no expense. Do realize if you do compete, you need a FM radio, AM radio is not allowed in the current NERC(NorthEast Robotic Club) rules. Please visit
here for exact rules.
