it takes very little effort to get a conversation going in here. hehe.

But yes, I do know about the unfair issue of increasing the weight. I was being selfish because we need to shed some excess weight. Haha.

If I were from other teams with robots that are fully functional, fully prepared, and fully under the weight limit, then I would totally disagree with this Anton. But in this case, uh uh.. ME WANT MORE WEIGHT. hehe.

It does seem in fact that the MIDDLE line is by not counting the additional required items to be in the weight requirement (ditto from the past messages).

I wonder if FIRST will allow that. Also remember (to u veterans) that if FIRST were to give us an extra 10lbs to work with, not only will overweight robots benefit, but even the robots that want to add MORE mechanisms. Right? :-) An extra arm may come in handy you know.

Thanks for all the replies!

A.A.
