Re: Robot Weight Limit: Rule Conflict

How much does the battery weigh on its own?

I don't think it quite hits the ten pound mark, but that might explain the 130 pound limit in the other guide seeing as it makes no mention of that weight limit being taken without the battery in the robot.

Still, follow the 120 pounds without battery rule. That's the correct one, as far as I know.

Re: Robot Weight Limit: Rule Conflict

Well the batteries (ES18-12) each weigh approx 6.1 KG or about 13.4 lbs

Re: Robot Weight Limit: Rule Conflict

It's 120 lbs... they most likely forgot to change the wording of last years manual...
