Re: What to use for ballast

Jimbo,
Had you been in California, it would have been a much different situation. Sealing/painting lead ballast is not something new to FRC. It has been around for more than a decade.
Lead wheel weights are also out of fashion for the same reason. Many locales do not allow them and some states ban hundreds of materials altogether.
Frank, I assume you are speaking of a battery used as ballast. Again this violates Robot rules and an issue was posted during last season here on CD discussing it.
