[Nitroxextreme]

well its the morning of ship
how much weight did anyone have to take out yesterday to get underweight

we had to take out about 8-10 pounds
how about you

[Denman]

underweight (erm we are over the non battery weight limit by 0.6 kilograms with the battery in, so we are probably a couple of kilos under)

We are well underweight, I guess we weigh around 75-80 pounds, we're adding weight today before we ship.

Team 95 is well underweight as well, which isn't usual. We'll probably add balast to stabilize our bot with the arm fully extended.

This is good, since last year we had to lose 7 lbs in the pit to weigh in, and that was a monumental effort.

We are dead on after having to lose about 10 pounds.

Surprisingly, we are underweight. My suggestion is adding kittens to the robot. With the addition of a couple of kittens AND their protective cage, we should be about right.

how many kittens?

Team Rush is about 12 pounds underweight...I think we are making some things out of steel instead of aluminum to help add more

I have no clue how much we weigh period. I figure if one person can pick it up alone, we are ok.

Team 1504 was about 5 pounds under, team 33 was about 15 under.

Like Rich said, 95's bot Eddie is about 10ish lbs under, what are you REALLY going to use for ballast? I want to use a rock, just to say we have a rock on our robt ;-)

We are just overweight (its about a half pound). We have a few more places for speed holes, so we'll find a way.

We also have the option to replace the steel 1" dia. shaft in our arm to a hollow tube. It'll lose 4 pounds but is a risky and time consuming operation. (We have a small potentiometer sprocket press-fitted on and it is in a hard place to remove. Not to mention we'll most likely bust it and need a new one.) The robot is in the crate ready to ship. Any suggestions?

We were at 102.5 pounds. How many teams wait wait until the very last day to weight their bots besides us?

[soulmonger_er]

Team 1353 according to the most accurate scale available to us which should be accurate to 1/10 of a pound we r right on 120.

we weren't overweight at all. In fact we were underweight - 110 with battery. So, let's hope that's a good thing, shall we?
