Re: Weight Reduction
Heres a fun story from the Nu-Tron from around 4-5 years ago:
They brought the bot up to inspection and placed it on the scale. The scale read 130.0....130.1....130.0....130.1 (for all you youngens back in the day the limit was 130 pounds WITH a battery). Eventually the scale stopped at 130.1. One of the team members decided to check the air tanks, they were full so he released all the air pressure...the scale dropped to 130.0 and they were good to go. Moral of the story: EMPTY YOUR AIR TANKS!
