2014 FRC's Biggest Loser

[Oblarg]

So, last year we were ditching wire guides at competition to get under the weight limit, so we at 4464 were admittedly a bit apprehensive about weight this year.

However, we weighed our robot, sans compressor, tanks, solenoids, and electrical board for the first time last night. Came in at 67 lbs. We've got a 6-CIM drive, two PG188's, one RS550, and four 1.5'' bore, 8'' stroke cylinders. We are very pleased. About half of our superstructure is 1/16'' aluminum tube, and the other half is 1/8''. We've actually overbuilt a lot of our mechanisms, it's just that our design is very simple and doesn't call for all that much actual stuff.

Here's a pic:
