Sensors, and numbers. We are also giving the robot over to our high school art club in order for them to make it pretty...So while I don't expect them to add a lot of weight, I'm sure there is some weight there. Really the battery mover needs a bit of work that would make it gain weight.

Also we came to a realization...We were planning to use the battery mover to shift weight so that the robot would be able to strafe properly. In all reality the front lift mechanism is heavy enough that the battery would have to be all the way over at the other end all the time in order to do that so having that mechanism doesn't make sense.

Finally, I personally don't want to bag for competition with the robot at 120. I personally prefer to have a bit of wiggle room going in incase there are things we missed inspection wise that require adding things to the robot, or even if it is just differences between our local vets scale and the one at competition. A few years ago we lost a bunch of time before competition because we had to cut 1 lb off of our robot...
