Jferrante is an unknown quantity at this point

um. I think we had antigravity last year.

gonna have to figure out how we did it.

Seriously, the started at just under max the day of the competition, and as we added stuff we kept weighing it and every time the weight went down... Maybe the wires were rant in just the perfect way that the electromagnetic field created by them caused the scale to become semi-magnetic and repulse itself, thus causing the weight to seem less, and each time we added stuff the additional metal must of helped strengthen the magnetic field... or something like that.
