Go to Post We should have a 'Steps Taken For FIRST' contest. Everyone wear a pedometer and keep a log of how many miles you walked at the St. Louis Championship. That could be a lot of fun. Do they make pedometers for robot carts? - JaneYoung [more]

I should really already know this but; what makes two batteries have a 1lb difference in them??

Is it just the manufacturer (obvious?), or how much it is charged, or other factors?

Combining physics and chemistry makes me ask the question wether or not the state of the chemical reaction inside adds to the weight of the battery itself.

Also, I am reminded of a video I saw of a NASCAR competiton where the NASCAR official inspected the restrictor plate for the engine seperately from the engine itself.

What they do is give the team their "controlled" size restrictor plate and right before they hand it over to the teams, they measure it on a controlled measurement device right in front of a team member. If the team member is unhappy with the way it looks or is measured on the device then, the team gets another one.

I wonder if this can be done with FIRST.
