How much does your robot weigh?

How much does your robot weigh? We're a bit overweight and will have to sacrifice some frame to make the weight limit.

We're not sure, but i promise that it'll weight 129.9 when it's done.

We are just under 94 with chassis, drivetrain, and battery right now. Haven't weighed the specialty system(s) yet.

You don't have to be done to weigh the robot. Just weigh the individual pieces before you put them on.

Im hoping that our bot will weigh in at around 125lbs or less. Our chassis with drivetrain, all essential electronics, and battery is currently 55lbs with a 10lb(or less) second level waiting for subsystems to be mounted.

Our Robot weighs about 75lbs with all essential components on it, but we just may reach 100 (maybe by ziff-tying metal rods on again....). All in all, we may not even aproach the weight limit, it's the one thing we're counting on not having problems with!

We're 94 without a battery; I believe the battery is 14 lbs. This may be the first time we've been so underweight this far into building.

As of friday after school we weighed about 137 lbs. but we immediatley started cutting un-needed pieces so im not sure what we weigh now.

mmm anti gravity...

Yeah we are definitely reduced to "speed holes" in our robot and it is getting pretty desperate so pretty soon we are going to be putting speed holes in our battery! Our motto from here on out is "It is too late now just drill!"

Aaron Lussier · #12 12-02-2003, 22:31

Our fully put together bot weighs 117pds with out any speed holes... hehe Decoration time

I can pick up the entire bot w/ battery, electronics, and drivetrain, but unfortunately we haven't attached our lifter yet

Force=Mass X Acceleration

We're going for 130.0 lbs again!

Pass me the lead weights!

We haven't finished yet (we're still assembling) but all the parts weigh 127.6 lbs
