how much over weight

[JamesCH95]

Like Rich said, 95's bot Eddie is about 10ish lbs under, what are you REALLY going to use for ballast? I want to use a rock, just to say we have a rock on our robt ;-)

116 pounds at the time of shipping.

[Bharat Nain]

We are .5 pounds overweight...

[PVCMike]

we were 125 yesterday at 12 noon, we were down to 114.5 this morning at 2am

We are just overweight (its about a half pound). We have a few more places for speed holes, so we'll find a way.

We also have the option to replace the steel 1" dia. shaft in our arm to a hollow tube. It'll lose 4 pounds but is a risky and time consuming operation. (We have a small potentiometer sprocket press-fitted on and it is in a hard place to remove. Not to mention we'll most likely bust it and need a new one.) The robot is in the crate ready to ship. Any suggestions?

We weighed in at 120.00 and then drilled some "speed holes" before sending Daisy off in her crate. That's our first underweight weighin in quite some time...(last year we had to lose about 4.5 lbs an hour over a six hour period to make weight last year at Anapolis, Chesapeke MD. ). A satisfying end to a satisfying season.

Not quite done, in the box and shipped, all parts on the spreadsheet come to 111.6, bathroom scale says 119.5 with out a cover, two days to build a cover and we need an additional transmission for our arm. We may be drilling gears in the trailer and removing two cims out of the four. I wasn't joking when team members kept asking what we were going to cover it with and I kept answering plastic wrap.

Well we were up till four in the morning and got 10-12 pounds that was work

[Nitroxextreme]

i just hope that all those people that are 120 are remembering the 1/2 lb that the led lights weight

[Kevin Kolodziej]

Team 1675 tipped the scales at a massive 143.5 pounds on Sunday at the pre-ship scrimmage up here in Wisconsin. At 1:30am this morning, we are right at 120 with a few more adjustments being made during the day today and/or in the pit in Chicago.

i think we set a new record with amount of weight take off. We at 1403 weighed in at a hefty 168 pounds. Now, around 120 plus or minus less than a pound. We can probably do a commercial.

Hi i'm 1403, i lost 48 pounds when i got a hole saw that is why you. should buy one.

[roboticsguy1988]

We are also underweight, i believe when they weighed it it was close to 95............. i am not sure, i know it was in the 90's though.

[NeedMoreEngines]

We were never actually overweight. We weighted the robot about a week agao, and we were....116 or 118, with a few things to still add on (lexan, hoses, a few more wires, etc). So we drilled holes in EVERYTHING. The entire underside of the robot, which was previously covered in nice, solid, .25 inch lexan, now looks like it got shot by a tank in about 50 places. We drilled holes in everything that did not need a whole lot of strentgh. We also removed some things and replaced them with lighter ones.
See you at the competitions. Remember- 1279 cold fusion robotics

[NeedMoreEngines]

Hey guys- long time no see
What, was your robot made out of lead?! 168 lbs is enough to do two commercials. Team 1279...team mates at the bridgewater hs post season and i think at annapolis. Watch out this year, our robot doesn't suck no more!

[David Guzman]

Our bot was at 101 lbs. We'll add some bumpers to bring it to max weight. Traction purposes.
