The only tool that will work to get our robot done in time will be a prayer rug.

HAASCNC Milling Machines (yes, plural) and Amada lasercutting machines. Soon to be a picture of the HAAS on the portal and in the gallery (once a mod approves it).

Re: What tool are you using to make weight?

This is only Cyber Blue's second time in our 8 years of history that we have been under weight. It's a nice feeling knowing that Thursday of our first regional we won't have to spend the day finding places to drill and cut like the past several years.

Re: What tool are you using to make weight?

We have already used three mills and a lathe to help drill plenty of holes. It's a great team 40 tradition to spend one really late night (5 PM to 5 AM) drilling holes in the frame and weighting the gears and sprockets. A CNC machine also comes in handy from time to time.

Re: What tool are you using to make weight?

w0w 6 people say their robot are 10 lbs under in week 6? Guess they don't have everything done yet or they don't have enough features.
Load some heavy code in their. That'll add some weight.

We are at 120 as of now, without one main system weighed in and a few motors and safety covers over pinch points/various other things.

Looks like we will be taking the parts to a miller to lose some serious weight.
