Re: Weight? Estmate weight?

After finally inputing the correct weight of the CIMs and other motors into our model (Which caused a scare one night when I realized that the weight of the motors were ~3lbs total), we are at 103 lbs without ~4 lbs of chain. I feel much better about the robot's weight this year than last year, where we had to remove 10 lbs of weight on the Thursday of the competition. This should be the first year in my 4 years of FIRST where we add extra weight to the robot instead of frantically take it off.

Re: Weight? Estmate weight?

We've weighed all of the stock parts, frame, and used inventor to estimate weight. We're planning on using the smaller heavier config and weight is gonna be close but I think we'll make it. There's always the hole saw ! But i agree i would much rather add lead weights than end up making swiss cheese out of our bot.
