final weight

[Donut]

114 lbs. the day of ship. All we have to add is some side protection (we'll probably do this with strips of lexan or netting).

Including our 11 lbs. of bumpers and the battery, we weigh 137 lbs. right now.

[Zoheb N]

The day before ship 118... yeah baby

[Nate Edwards]

For the first time ever we were severely overweight, at about 124 without a ball pickup, the ball pickup weighed about 4-5 pounds and our final weight turned out to be 119.5, we started cutting everything in sight (including smaller netting, cutting excess from top and bottom, cutting plates, cutting holes, making wire smaller and even accidently cracking the entire motor control board, while making a whole for a connector we didn't have.)

Bottom line:
We hope the scale at competition is the same as ours.

117.5 without bumpers or battery

the night before ship... 157. ship day... 124. we have a little more work to do but it shouldnt be too hard to take off 4 more pounds after already taking off 33 lbs.

[Logan Byers]

Team 461's Rowdy 7 was somewhere in the 118-119 lb. range.

wow thats alot...you know theres only so many holes you can drill befrore you compromise structural integrity so you guys should be carefull not to make the same mistake one of the members on my team did taking from a crucial part setting us back. Well good luck to you and all the other teams competing out there.

After cutting as many holes as we could without losing strength, we only lost about 7 pounds. Thats when we decided to take off the lexan around our hopper. The day we shipped our robot, we replaced the lexan with some ... chicken wire (yeah, we're from the south). Actually the chicken wire ended up working better.

[lallamavolador]

ours weighed 119.75

[orelinde]

10 pounds over the limit there abouts. but we have already worked out a plan for getting under the limit. slimfast

[Tim566]

hmm...I dunno if slimfast is well...fast enough you may need to use liposuction instead...just a thought... hey i wonder what if when they weighed it we put attached lots of helium balloons? it could work right?

[TubaMorg]

4 days prior to shipping we were 35 lbs. overweight! Needless to say hole drilling wasn't enough to get us down to the limit. First 5 weeks to build the robot. 4 days to redesign and build the robot again. After getting rid of all the 1/4" plate steel, our hopper, and replacing plate aluminum on our conveyor with canvas we weighed in around 105 lbs. The problem? We can pick up balls, we can shoot balls, we just don't have any place to PUT balls! AND our shooter is unshielded! So thursday at comp. we will be adding in the necessary redesigns.

[blaskay16]

815 weighted in at 108 so our field weight will be aboutr 130 to 135

[Eisner664]

Team 1100 is like 118
Not to bad two years ago, we were like .1 under weight!!!!!

Team 1100 Going all the way!!!!!!!!!
