 By the end of week six, I'm sick of looking at the robot enough that stuffing it in a bag is rather cathartic...:rolleyes: - 2544HCRC [more] |

Re: Weight Issues in Regionals
This year, before all of the lightweighting and stuff, I'd say, we were about 10-15 pounds over. We spent all day one day taking it apart and drilling endless holes in everything. We were still overweight when we got to the regional. In our first practice match, we tipped over and our Horizontal aiming was busted. That brought us underweight. The end effect: We can't score anything we shoot...
We are making some modifications for Nationals and we are converting our robot to a side scorer. This should give us 5-7 pounds of extra weight which will be added to the bottom of the chassis to lower our CG. Or maybe outriggers to aid in getting up the ramp. |
