Your robot's aprrox. weight

[Hinkel Y.]

Well, with less than a week to go, and your robots almost done (hopefully), how heavy are your bots?

[Yan Wang]

Er, I supposed you meant GREATER than 130lbs as the last choice.

We're 128.5lbs ... without the lexan which is being ordered. Should be 130.0 like the last 2 years

[ngreen]

More than 1 lb and less than 1000. Approximately. + or - 870lbs.

edit: Greater than 74 and less than 130. We are still finishing some work so it should be in the range of 129.99. We had better make sure to blow the dust off before we go to weigh. We were 129.8 last year.

[Solace]

a number greater than what we'd like it to be.

128.5 as of the other day before all our new spiffy speed holes we are having put in!!

Welcome to the big time!!

[Kevin Sevcik]

124 last I'd heard. We still have some lexan and a few other tiny bits to put on, but I think we'll be underweight this year without a furious round of speed holing. *runs about knocking on every piece of wood he can find*

Speed holes A.K.A. "Access Holes" lightened a pound for us, but trimming some of the bosch tubes (that does no have a lot of pressure load) dropped us down a few pounds...

We're about 135 (?) right now with everything on...

Last time I was there, we were at 109lbs and everything was assembled and on the robot. I think the team is gonna try to beaf it up so it is not too light, to around 125-128lbs.

Uh, I think we'll finish our bot first before we weigh it... All i know is my part is 4.7 pounds, w00t

[sanddrag]

We were at 129.6 without leds, bumpers, a shield, sensors, backup battery, and team numbers. All of that we figure weighs about 3.5 lbs so you can say we'll be doing a bit of lightnening.

Beat this ladies and Gentlmen .. As of last night .. Kilabyte weighs in at 145lbs .. I dont even think Dr. Atkins can help.. It is time for some serious plastic surgury....

[Chris Fultz]

Sounds like you all should have been using the Cyber Blue Weight Database!

Just joking. Good luck with the weight reduction activities.

I think we are looking for about 2 pounds.

[ZZII 527]

132.4 lbs. minus whatever metal filings were left after we cut and drilled for an hour. Several more hours to go.

[Katie Reynolds]

Wow! I wonder how many other teams can say,

Sounds like you need to scrap a mechanism. Either that or do a serious remanufacturing of all the parts out of a thiner material. We are only 3.5 pounds over and we are still remanufacturing a major part.
