Re: Methods of adding ballast to underweight robots

I had hesitated to include this in my first post, but robot rules do not prevent you from mounting unused 2009 KOP motors as ballast. Use the mounting holes and hardware meant for the motor, just tie off and insulate the wires so that they don't come in contact with any active circuitry.
