Go to Post There are a maximum of 80 balls in play . If all the balls are in the goals or out of play and the human players won't throw them back in, I guess the robots might try line dancing or doing the cha-cha. - Rick TYler [more]

Re: Weight Issues?

If you are having trouble losing weight, I suggest swiss cheezing your robot.

Re: Weight Issues?

Think about what parts of the ramp or platform actually need to be there, and which parts don't. Perhaps there is quite a bit of unused surface, that wheels will never contact, that can be removed from the design. Also, look at pictures of bridges.....specifically rickety old railroad bridges

Re: Weight Issues?

Last year we were about 20 pounds underweight, so we didnt have a problem. But this year, we will be using the full 110lbs. with a 5ft robot. We just got a shipping scale, and I'll be making sure the bot gets weighed as it comes together. If it gets too heavy at any certain point, then at least we know that it needs to be taken care of.
