Re: What tool are you using to make weight?

One letter: H. We plan to use lots and lots of H. Seriously, my team... okay, I've pretty much ignored the wieght limit (can't speak for the launcher team) since we're going to be pretty small this year (under 3 feet most likely yay!) and the bigger parts are aluminum. But, if worse comes to worse, I'll leave it up to the launcher people. I'm going to wire the robot for neatness and order (I hope) while maintaning shorter runs. It is the lovely convergence of things needed: order, lower resistance, and weight. Nice organized, short runs helps them all... and gives me another thing to do. (I don't have much to do right now since the drivetrain's done and it was my sole responsibility)
