Worried about weight ?

[SciBorg Dave]

As the finished Bot comes together we are starting to worry about the 120 pound max.
Any other teams having weight problems ?

We are fine I picked up the bot today and estimate its only around 40 pounds. But we also have a somewhat short bot compared to many this year.

Last we measured, we should be hitting somewhere around 100-110 pounds (and we're 77" tall).

We are 77 " tall and we will weight the bot with all components tomorrow. We should be about 110-115 pounds.

Definitely. We're about 72" tall, and we're about 128lbs, 8lbs over the limit, and thats not even counting 2 other CIM motors we're planning on using.

[Zebra_Fact_Man]

Not really. Prototype was only 85lbs and we only plan to add 25lbs more weight to the competition bot.

[MrForbes]

yeah, it's going to be close this year.

Yeah, we're worried about weight. "Hey, we got any ballast around here, and where we gonna put it?"

The practice bot and a bunch of parts for it hit the scale at under 90 lbs today.

We're a little heavy for the first time ever. We started figuring out the robot's diet plan tonight.

Hope this helps, Allen.

Yes, a bit. 129 before powder coat....119.9 after weight loss day. Hope we don't need to add much more this week. We don't have much more to give up without sacrificing functions.

We are surprisingly light, most years we ride the 120 line without ballast. We are 77.75" high and weigh ~95 Lbs missing only a banner. We will be adding ballast for sure.

Team 5137 has only 6 pounds to spare (without battery) at 114lb and 77.75" high
Still thinking of adding another arm to sweep with those "extra" 6 lbs

[ishaves]

Were somewhere around 78" tall (depending on active configuartion), 42" long and weigh in at like 119.5 lbs. Ya....

4901 will be right on the line, but I'm not concerned since we have a few pretty simple outs with our design. I haven't had to put a robot on a crash diet since 2006, why start again now?
