At least your weight situation was pretty straightforward. During the build season this year we weighed all of the pieces on a scale that is +/- .5 lbs accurate, so we figured we could be off by up to a pound. Weight is also something we carefully consider in advance: The leadership has empowered both students and mentors with an anti cheese hole policy for our team.

We weighed it the systems together, it came up to 106 lbs (5ft robot). We added a bit of bolts and small integration mods, it went up to 112 lbs.

Mind-boggling enough, we then added all of the wiring and went from 112 lbs to 108 lbs. 108 was also what our official weight at our first competition.

There-in lies in incontravertible proof for the analogy that celery is to humans as wires are to a robot!
