By the way... anybody having any suggestions to add 50 lbs. to the robot- we are a little underweight  |
in 2001 we were insanely underweight (50 lbs total) so we bolted a huge steel plate to the bottom of our bot. I would reccomend doing that or adding something easily removable so when you discover you need another 10 pounds you won't be stuck with a huge blob of metal welded on your frame
One last thing, if a mechanical part fails on you, sometimes you can get a little bit of noise back into it by yelling at it, kicking it, or pounding on it with your fist. This might put enough back into it so it will work for a few more minutes. - KenWittlief [more]
