Re: Are You EPICALLY overweight?

We're about 1/10th of a pound overweight this year, but we won't worry about it until competition. Once they officially flag us on weight (or maybe their scale doesn't read to tenths of a pound.. who knows) we'll bust out a drill, but right now we're not worried.

We knew we'd be about 1-2lb over from our inventor drawing, but through some pre-emptive cheese hole-ing we are pretty much good to go.

Last year we were severely underweight, but thats due to a bot with basically no manipulator and a severe in-ability to drive. 2 years ago we were overweight due to our tank of a drive system (literally, we had some beasty treads) and 8020 lift system.
