Your robot's aprrox. weight
Well, with less than a week to go, and your robots almost done (hopefully), how heavy are your bots?

Re: Your robot's aprrox. weight
Er, I supposed you meant GREATER than 130lbs as the last choice.

We're 128.5lbs ... without the lexan which is being ordered. Should be 130.0 like the last 2 years

Re: Your robot's aprrox. weight
More than 1 lb and less than 1000. Approximately. + or - 870lbs.

edit: Greater than 74 and less than 130. We are still finishing some work so it should be in the range of 129.99. We had better make sure to blow the dust off before we go to weigh. We were 129.8 last year.

Re: Your robot's aprrox. weight
124 last I'd heard. We still have some lexan and a few other tiny bits to put on, but I think we'll be underweight this year without a furious round of speed holing. *runs about knocking on every piece of wood he can find*

Speed holes A.K.A. "Access Holes" lightened a pound for us, but trimming some of the bosch tubes (that does no have a lot of pressure load) dropped us down a few pounds...

We're about 135 (?) right now with everything on...

Re: Your robot's aprrox. weight
Last time I was there, we were at 109lbs and everything was assembled and on the robot. I think the team is gonna try to beaf it up so it is not too light, to around 125-128lbs.

Re: Your robot's aprrox. weight
We were at 129.6 without leds, bumpers, a shield, sensors, backup battery, and team numbers. All of that we figure weighs about 3.5 lbs so you can say we'll be doing a bit of lightnening.

Re: Your robot's aprrox. weight
Sounds like you all should have been using the Cyber Blue Weight Database!

Just joking. Good luck with the weight reduction activities.

I think we are looking for about 2 pounds.

Sounds like you need to scrap a mechanism. Either that or do a serious remanufacturing of all the parts out of a thiner material. We are only 3.5 pounds over and we are still remanufacturing a major part.

Ok, I will. As of first weigh in 2 nights ago we were at 149.9lbs......needless to say our robot was put on a serious crash diet.
As of last night we were down to 131, looking foward to tommorows weigh in to see were we are at.
