I dunno -- some teams have extra large mentors.

I outweigh my team's robot by almost 100 lb. And there are mentors out there who make me look puny by comparison.

See? if your robot lifts you, it can lift another robot just fine (assuming that there's anything left of the lifting mechanism).

Chippermonky,

At my first job 37 years ago, they had a monkey named Chipper He was a South American wooley monkey. Customers who got their fingers or hair too close to the cage soon regretted their mistake. A 16 pound monkey is incredibly strong.

What are you trying to say Richard?!? It's cold up here and you need some extra insulation.

Did I say mentors? I meant to say Mentos! Some teams have extra large Mentos!

Sorry, Al.
