Re: How to lose 6 pounds in 8 hours

Last year was the only time we actually had a weight problem
In 2005 we were over 10 lbs under and threw a massive block of steel on the bottom of our robot to lower the CG and counterbalance the arm

Re: How to lose 6 pounds in 8 hours

Structural integrity is not the only way that speed holes can come back to bite you. Today at Monty Madness, a team had some speed holes that were maybe 2" diameter drilled into the middle of their platform. The team that climbed onto them had omni wheels, and one of their rollers went down into the hole. This was the only part of the lifted robot that came in below 12", and the 15 points made the difference in the match.

Re: How to lose 6 pounds in 8 hours

Our holes were about 1.5" to 2" in diameter. We never had a problem because of the holes. Plus, we tapered them upward to give traction. It was very helpful.

Wink Re: How to lose 6 pounds in 8 hours

Hi Storcky,

Your weight loss goal is very hard, I think to loose 6 pounds in 8 hours is difficult. But you have to work hard.
Anyway I will suggest some advises are really helpful for your weight loss goal.

Take minimum 5-6 meals instead of one big meal.

Drink lots of plenty water on regular basis, because it will increases metabolism rate in our body and try to removing lots of fat contented food items (fast food).

I suggest to take more grains and vegetables are very good for the health. One of the most powerful item to reduce heavy weight is chines green tea, you can take tea at least twice of the day then definitely get good result on losing more weight.

If you have at least 30 minutes time in the morning, you can try to walking on regular basis, because it helps to burns more calories in our body and to practice more time with weightlifting. I hope while following these minimum tips are really good and you will get better improvement on losing weight.

It's easy to lose that weight in such a short amount of time. But it'll probably cost you an arm and a leg.

And I always joke about putting our robot on a diet...


(Our robot was 10 lbs underweight for the first time ever this year... I guess my advice really did work.)

Re: How to lose 6 pounds in 8 hours

This year the robot came in at the supermodel weight of 90lbs it was quite stunning (because this is our rookie year I don’t think we could handle the stress of being 30+ over)
