Re: Weight Reduction

Our robot last year was allmost all pollycarbonate. We were more than 40 pounds overweight. We spent week 5 and thursday of our first competion drilling the holes in the frame larger, trimming corners off of pieces and many speed holes. 3 in hole saw works well but this year we have acess to even larger ones. My advice - allways keep weight into consideration.

If you loose the match and the robot doesn't come back broken, you didn't drive hard enough.
