Re: Are You EPICALLY overweight?

2004- Somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 pounds over. Our chassis was way overbuilt, and of course very difficult to get to. We also Sawzalled a good portion of our hopper off, which in retrospect may have been a bad choice. We also drilled 1/2 holes everywhere we could fit a a drill, and holesawed everywhere we possibly could. We ended up just under.

2005- Still not quite sure how we ended up under on this one. We drilled all of the holes before we assembled the robot so they looked all nice, and ended up just under. This one certainly looks the heaviest of all the robots we've built.

2006- Hovered right at 120.

2007- Our ramps didn't work out so well, so we dumped them. Our arm didn't work out so well either, so we pinned it up at six feet and added 10 pounds of steel.

2008-Ended up under, and added about 5 pounds of counterweight for our arm.

2009- Right at 120. We might be a little over, but it's nothing we can't take care of in half an hour on Thursday. *knock on wood*
