That all depends on how the robot is designed. Granted, most teams are at or over the weight limit at their first regional... but our team has consistently been under the past 3 years.

So much, in fact, that we've added 10-20 lb steel plates on all of our robots just to get up to the weight limit. Last year, we were smart about it, and integrated the steel plates into our design from the beginning
