2. Up the weight limit to 140 lbs. I think this will allow teams to add a whole new component to their robot if they want to. They can use bigger chains, bigger wheels, or add another set of pneumatics on their robot. While 10 lbs isn't a whole lot, it can be a matter of life and death for an arm, a winch, or a ball roller. I think with enough ahead of time announcement, this rule can be applied to an off season event and motivate teams to work on their robot during the summer.[quote=Ken Leung]

At the offseason competitions i went to last year none of the robots were weighed. The rules at the offseason competitions are more laid back because we all are there to have fun and feed our craving for robotics. But i will say by adding ten lbs some teams can test out parts that never made it on the robot due to weight or try out a new development for next years game.
