Re: final weight

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.

Well good luck to you and all the other teams competing out there.

Re: final weight

119.6 (assuming our scale was accurate)

We cut out just over 4 lbs Tuesday morning. We still need to add sheilding around our ball shooter so we'll need to find a little more weight to come out.

Re: final weight

610 was 143 lbs with 5 days left, and got her down to 119.5 in 3 days. I was really impressed that we were able to take off 25 lbs, the late nights taking apart our robot in a team members basement really helped .

Re: final weight

team 1733s robot weighed 145 the day before ship but after turning our 20 lb. wooden spindles into swiss cheese it only weighed 130. 15 lbs. of wood is a lot of tree.

So you guys still have to lose 10 lbs for the competition on the practice day? Well don't worry your not the only one with a robot that needs to diet. I think our robot is a few pounds overweight with a few more things we would like to add (our scale said we were 120 but we have our suspicions about the scale due to past inaccuracies or possibly the robot gaining 3 lbs while being shipped)

Re: final weight

Well, we weighed it a couple days before ship and it was 116.6lbs, but then we added a couple sensors, a camera guard, lots of zipties, and something to protect the wheel. We didn't weigh it after we added the stuff...
