Full 2014 robot weight. However, it already had a crack in it to begin with.

User error. Bolts were tightened way too tight and cracked the wheel. Didn't notice there was a crack in it until it was too late.

Old version, it was on the 2014 robot.

Nope. Just overtightened them.
It wasn't about the ROBOT, or about whether I was male or female, it was about getting to compete in something that was just SO cool. - BandChick [more]
