Re: final weight

4 days prior to shipping we were 35 lbs. overweight! Needless to say hole drilling wasn't enough to get us down to the limit. First 5 weeks to build the robot. 4 days to redesign and build the robot again. After getting rid of all the 1/4" plate steel, our hopper, and replacing plate aluminum on our conveyor with canvas we weighed in around 105 lbs. The problem? We can pick up balls, we can shoot balls, we just don't have any place to PUT balls! AND our shooter is unshielded! So thursday at comp. we will be adding in the necessary redesigns.
