Re: What to use for ballast

We use 1" x 3" steel bar cut to the precice length needed. Adjustable to any weight, fits in tight spaces, and easily drilled and tapped for mounting. No one knew, but there was 11.5 lbs. of such bar hidden inside the rear of the chassis of our 2013 robot, to manage CG for level hanging.
