Re: What r ur robot weights as of right now

The Solidworks model says we're 115.57 lbs...

...with an 8 lbs. ball model

...and a 14 lbs. battery model.

The actual robot isn't quite up to speed with the CAD model, but it's close.

Re: What r ur robot weights as of right now

We're at 108 with a complete manipulator (well, the manipulator isn't actually complete, but we piled the remaining parts on the robot for weighing), the compressor, and a complete drive system. We have yet to add the electricals (should go on on Saturday), all the pneumatic fittings (the tanks were piled on for weighing though), and polycarbonate armor.

I think we'll be close to 120, but our robot hasn't had much weight reduction done to it yet. For example, our chain tensioners weigh 1lb a piece, which could be significantly reduced. I also calculated that we could loose a couple of pounds through some light swiss cheesing of the Toughbox's 50T gears. The first chain reduction on the arm could also be cheesed a bit (I'd a bit squeamish of speed-holing the final reduction though... there is a lot of torque going through that sucker). Beyond that, there are always the old tricks: speed-hole the arm, replace bolts with rivets, and so on.

Re: What r ur robot weights as of right now

How do you weigh your robots? We didn't even know our weight last year until competition, which we found out that it was within our class limit.

We take our bot down to the shipping room that has a digital scale used for weighing crates and packages.
