How much does your robot weigh?

Yeah, we're right at the limit.

At the 2008 CMP our robot weighed in at 120.1 - in a panic, we ripped off one of the decorative covers on the rear of our bot to come in at 119.9. The volunteer operating the scale was nice enough to tell us that we could put it back on as the scale had a .1 lb margin of error. I'm fairly sure this holds true at most/many/all events, but I'm not too sure.

As for 2012, we're barely at 100lbs, although we're still missing a few minor components. Competition weight on the bot should be 105-107lbs pre-ballast.
