Re: Weight Concerns

If you don't manage weight from the beginning, weight will manage you at the end. After brainstorming, we set weight budgets for each major subassembly and then continue to refine the estimates as the build process continues.

Re: Weight Concerns

Team 213 usually runs into weight when the robot is nearly finished, and we put it on the scale and it is about 135 lbs. We are no better this year, we have not really considered weight as the demon that it is. I don't know if we will be overweight this year, but I am guessing so, seeing as we have plenty of CIM motors and aluminum sheet. Who knows though. Probably another swiss cheese robot. Check out our picture on the image gallery to see our machine. Team 213's machine. Also click on the link below to get to our team site (which is new) to get more detailed info on our team and our season so far (lots of pics).
