Please refer to R08 in the robot rules and various team updates for more more info. TU#2 in particular.

Please also make sure that there is not any additional weight added to the bumpers, i.e. steel, lead, etc.
Most of the bumpers that we weighed at the regionals came in anywhere from 9 to 13 pounds. Anything heavier will be looked at more closely.
You move on because FIRST isn't about the penalty or the un-penalty or whose robot is agressive and who is timid. - Collin Fultz [more]
