Re: Why is weight so important?

Team's sometimes like to keep their weight to as light as they can get, while still being structurally sound, in order to give them leeway when adding on components and other parts at regionals. There's also the case of weight distribution on a certain type of robot. Teams spread their weight evenly or lopsided in order to maintain CG and while building their robots they keep this in mind.
