Re: Weight Issues in Regionals
Heh. We planned for weight from the very beginning, which meant that when we came in three pounds over it was really hard to find something to remove. We ended up losing the camera and our rear ball-sweeper guard bar. To the people that made the decision, losing the camera was easy, but the loss of the guard bar meant that our ball sweeper was crushed in an early match. No major loss, since the ball sweeper (which worked) wasn't tied into the loading mechanism (which worked). Since the ball sweeper's only role was to toss Poof balls onto the electronics board, its demise mattered little.
