I have come up with some great ideas for some robots that can do almost everything. The only problem is that they are based off of some of last years better robots. Can anyone help me with how much their last years robots weighed?

Our bot will forever weigh the limit minus .1. Last year we were 129.9. At CDI, I think we were 99.9.

We were over 130 by about 9 pound. We made it under by about 4 pounds after cutting chunks off our bot. Of course then when we realized that our scoop didnt work, we took that off and that was a good 30 or so pounds right there.

And Patrick, another post I said rookie by team number. My apologies. I didnt know you were part of team 190. That would mean that you know my good friends Kate and Colleen then right? Well, I know your scheme. Racking up posts for 190 with them. No wait, thats right, your on a new team now. Oh man i need sleep.

Team 349 was 129.5 after reducing a few pounds. ("Guys, we can lose weight if we replace this steel bolt with another one! Cut the excess off of the cable ties! Trim the bumpers!&quot

Our robot weighed 129.5 pounds, and i thought that was close. But i see that some teams had robots that were 130 pounds.
