How much does your robot weigh?

[DominickC]

117.5 lbs after we threw a few large holes in our chassis.

Here is what our robot pretty much looks like


We are struggling to see where the weight is coming from :/

[sand500]

Our robot has no shooter or loader and is already at 120

[Squillo]

118.5 last we checked. It's going to be just under 120, probably 118-119.5 when we compete.

For teams that are having trouble making weight a few suggestions for next year ...

1 - Keep a spreadsheet with the weight of all components
2 - Update that spreadsheet EVERY day!
3 - Appoint a trustworthy team member to maintain the spreadsheet
4 - Every time you consider a new piece of your design try to estimate the weight. it is not hard to do, one can google the density of aluminum & steel and the weight of COTS parts are usually included on their web sites
5 - Get a good scale
6 - Take the time to minimize weight in every part of the robot as you go, not at the end.
7 - Shoot for 110 or so because wire, nuts, bolts and last minute safety features weigh more than you think.

Make detailed CAD models! Remember that the more accurate your CAD models are, the more accurate the weight they output will be. It will never be perfect, but it will give you a fairly good idea of your approximate weight.

Team 2658 is looking at a weight of 85 or 95lbs, depending on which shooter is used. Team 3749 is looking at something closer to 115lbs.

Our robot weighs about 110 pounds.

[G33K]

119.8 measured before bagging it up last night

[gyroscopeRaptor]

115-117 lbs. Strange because our robot is much smaller than last year's.

[touchdownjesus4]

Ours weighs 119.4lbs, very very close to the limit but thankfully under.

[Anupam Goli]

119.4 pounds.... Cutting it too close... and we don't have sponsor stickers on there yet

[kws4000]

101.3

Would it be a bragging point if you had to add weight? (Just wunderin, no offense to anyone nohow)

[onecoolc]

108 lbs, right now.
Adding maybe three or four pounds for our bridge-lowering-device, but that's it.

[EvanA]

Final weigh in at 117.7 pounds.

Last year where we had to make Swiss cheese out of the lexan to get under weight.

[Djur]

121 pounds... But we have a lot of metal we can get rid of, so no worries there
