Re: Why is weight so important?
As mentioned, weight is an issue with the new control system being about 3 times heavier than the old one. Generally speaking, teams have a hard time staying in the legal weight limit with a bare minimum running much less. Last year I had one or two teams that weighed in at less than 90 lbs. with the bumpers. I had one team weigh in at 143 lbs. due in part to a faulty scale at their shop. Note to self...test the scale using last year's robot with the battery out to be sure.
