Re: pic: Cornelius VIII - FRC469
There should be a camera and a working autonomous.
Indeed, weight was a great concern. Everything on the robot was made as light as possible, such as the gripper, which weighs less than 2 pounds, and the elevator motor mount, which was made of stamped 1/16th aluminum. If we were to somehow be overweight, there's pretty much no more places to drill holes without making our robot a crumple zone. To be fair, I credit some of the ideas to other great teams who have been able to shove a ridiculous amount of features on a 120lb robot. I had 33's short-lived stamped-steel swerve drive modules from 2005 in mind when I worked on the motor mount. Wait until you see it move. It'll make the weight seem even more impressive.
