What to use for ballast

Once this competition is over, we should donate all of these Poof balls to daycares, elementary schools, neighbors; all the little kids. It would make us look good like, "Here's our Toys for Toddlers gift from us upstanding citizens. And we build robots." - atomikitten [more]

Re: What to use for ballast

In 2012 we had two 2x2x4 blocks of steel as ballasts.
They were mounted to the robot with Velcro on two of the faces of each block and duct tape on the back. Dispite what has need said of using tape to attach ballasts in this thread the industrial strength Velcro held on very well. We had trouble taking the weights off when we wanted to move them
