For an average length of 1.5", a 1/4" bolt weighs about .022 lb, so it would take about 1350 bolts to make 30 lb.

Overall, I thought FIRST did a great job with the rules this year - very simple and very clear for the most part. However, something is always going to fall through the cracks (and I don't mean that in a bad way - people need to know that it's practically impossible to do something perfectly). - Chris Hibner [more]
