Sorry Joe, we could not find any heavy aluminum so we opted for solid steel " 30 lbs " worth. We painted them chrome for efect, spiffy huh.
Were still under weight but we ran out of ballast so we will just have to suffer with the extra speed.
We were practicing the other night and accidentaly picked up the goal from the side, so if any robot falls over we can pick you up.
We were wondering if we could use our arms as a fork lift and carry the stetcher with a bot on it over the ramp, we shall test that theory in florida.
Eat your hearts out folks the Sie H2o Bots are back in the game......

: All the other robots I know are hacking themselves to bits in order to make weight and what is that I see on your robot? BALLAST! Yes, I think so, aluminum rods about 2 inches in diameter right there in the middle of the machine.

: I will leave you alone to feast on your 7 course meal while I slink over the corner and nibble my diet cracker ;-)

: Great job on turning around your entire machine in such a short time.

: Good luck. See you in FL.

: Joe J.
