Re: pic: Team 573's 2010 OCCRA robot

Having seen their robot, I can say that those are bricks. With some sharpie art on them, too.

OCCRA weight rules:
No bumpers, no bumper weight/size allowances or anything (None of the robots break from collisions either)
Battery included in weight
115lb max
5lb bonus for using pneumatics with compressor (compressor weighs about 5lbs)
Since 573 does not use pneumatics, their robot would weigh 115lbs including a battery, both IFI kit frames (bottom and top), CIM's and Toughboxes, and those bricks.
