Weight? Estmate weight?
Weight seems to be an enemy more so due to the class system.

I had the nice notion this year of planning weight. (Keyword is had...)

We weighed all the parts, did some serious guestimation on some others. They wrote it all down and I started putting it in an Excel Spreadsheet in Openoffice. The idea was to drag and drop parts into a list and have a reasonable weight window for the robot.

I was down to the Electronics when something happened and I lost two hours of data entry. I have not had time to sit down and put it back into Excel but that is probably something I'll do tonight.
