Re: Weight Reduction
Oh, and another piece of advice: Remove functionality only as an absolute last resort. With enough slugbusting and materials replacing, we were able to go from 4 pounds overweight to 2 pounds under without giving up anything last year. Now, some teams have dropped major systems of their robot and still gone on to win regionals (1251 comes to mind), but as a rule....don't do it.
