Re: Weight Reduction
This year it already looks like we are having weight issues so we have been taking the weight of EVERYTHING (components, motors, spikes) and adding them into an excel file. Then for things that arn't built yet like the chassis, wheels and stuff we have done extrememly acurate Solidwork models of them and these give us the weight.
#1 tip to avoid overweight issues:
Plan/design everything first then build. dont design as you go.
