I like the concept of having a Junkyard Wars style Competition between the two robotics groups, but with junkyard resources it is difficult to work with a weight restriction. We FIRSTers have an advantage with working with serious time constraints, and the Battlebots people have an advantage with seeing something and turning it into a weapon or other strategic device. But to work with junkyard resources it is near impossible to find enough aluminum to keep your frame under 300lbs...Plus all the extras made out of steel and what have you. All the Battlebots are all made out of stock like first robots and they are pushing 300lbs alone.

Pardon the cliche but that is my two cents.

-Mancuso
the only reason why i said 300 lbs is because most super heavyweights in BB aren't much more than 300 lbs
