Re: Ballast considered extra parts?

This reminds me of our scenario. We are prepared to remove our ramps if we feel someone else in our alliance has a better ramp system. By removing our ramps we drop 20 lbs.

But if we then add a 20 lb ballast, I think it would be breaking the rules. Your robot with ALL configurations cannot weigh more than 120 (4 ft). Otherwise teams would have multiple drive systems, manipulators, etc... which would hardly be fair (fun though..).
