Re: YMTC: Redabot weighs 129.8?

As an inspector under 2004 rules, I would have ruled this robot did not make weight. Under 2003 rules it would have. I personally feel that the maximum weight a robot will be competing at is the test weight for inspection as the 2003 rule stated. After all, the max weight and size of a robot when it is on the field is the the critical issue to a level playing field, not the parts that are left behind. You don't qualify for size with all attachments fitting in the size box, just the robot with each attachment so that no attachment is over the size limit.
