Go to Post If my shop was snowed in and my unfinished robot was sitting in there, I'd dig it out with a plastic spoon or melt it out with a Bic lighter if I had to. Every hour counts. If there's a will, there's a way to make it happen. - sanddrag [more]

Re: Robot Weight

That's what I'm hoping. With the point value of 3 robots on the bridge in the elimination rounds it could be a game-changer, but the bridge size may hold a lot of alliances back. Even if all the robots on the alliance are built "the short way," balancing will be hard to coordinate unless they are all weighted the same. I haven't done the calculations as to how much leeway we get, but I'm assuming it is pretty small.
