Re: Weight Issues in Regionals

1511 put its robot pieces on the scale on sunday morning before ship... and had to lose 20lbs while preping our pre-ship scrimmage!! We did it.. we lost 20lbs in 6 hours, without ANY loss of functionality... we cut we drilled, we hacksawed, we ground, we removed extra nuts and bolts... it was crazy... best crash diet I've ever seen... I only hope that our scale matches the one at the regional, cuz we are going to be close!!
