As stated earlier, FIRST is all about teamwork, they don't want ONE team to be able to do everything alone. Just remember some key terms that FIRST has coined: Co-Opertition, and of course, GRACIOUS PROFESSIONALISM!
um, it would most likely be more like 300 lb+, since the one levatating robot would be supporting the other 2, and if it isnt, then thats a waste, and the mind is a terrible thing to waste
