Re: The 2009 Control System Q&A Thread
Regarding the 150lb weight limit, I certainly hope that a 120 lb robot + 15 lb bumpers + 13ish lb battery doesn't "weigh a good deal more than 150 pounds".

A few years back, we learned that not all SLA batteries are created equal. There are mass differences between samples and we found out that robot weight changed substantially depending on which battery was installed during inspection. So... for consistency, we now weigh robots without the 12V SLA battery installed.
