"level the playing field"... could this be a hint about next year's game?


i don't think we should worry about changing the weight limit, bu8t instead worry about makign the scales in use more accurate. my team weighs our robot with some of the most accurate scales around. i remember one time where we knew our robot was 129.4 and when we put it on the scale it read 130.7! all we did was pick it up and put it down again and the scale read 129.8! my numbers may be slightly off, but the idea is what is important - the scale was varying. the fact that it can have almost an entire pound variance of weighing the same exact thing really shows how innacurate they are.
