Weight Saving Techniques

[pyroslev]

Use the Battery as your weight buffer. Years ago, it had to be in the limit of 130 pounds. Now, the limit is 120 pounds less the battery. With the battery weighing in at about 12 pounds, that's a pretty hefty buffer zone.

Also, consider your options. When you put in plastic air tanks, use the weight of the metal ones. When you are going to use the minimal devices, use the weight of the maximum. You'll soon find yourself with a large amount of buffer weight whether you CAD your robot or design it on paper and build.
