Under or over weight?
I was just wondering how many teams are under weight or over weight as of now? It seems that many teams that have posted teasers have said there weight is low.

Re: Under or over weight?
What we have planned of our robot is overweight...
But what we have built it underweight, we'll see when we get to the competitions after the fix-it window.. |

Re: Under or over weight?
Right now the robot is under weight but I have a feeling we will be drilling holes 2 days before ship date, so the real question isn't are we going to drill holes, but how many holes we are going to have to drill.

Re: Under or over weight?
At our meeting saturday, we looked up weights for the part we needed to order still, and weighed what we have. We are running overweight, but the machining of metal to remove weight has already begun, lol

Re: Under or over weight?
Our team was over weghit last week. We had to design the arm all over again and fortunately we came up with the lightest design possible.
Our transmission system only account for 35 pounds, and 4-wheel steering is on top of it. Our arm is only made out of alluminun and instead of chains we are usuing simple cable wires to rotate it. i think we are going to end up between 120 or 130. lets see.......................

Re: Under or over weight?
Our team's ideology is to remove all the weight possible before assembly. We are cutting out triangles out of our arm like crazy. Weight reduction is a major thing this year for us, since last year we had to cut down 10 lbs with a drill and dremel tool. If you have a cnc router in your shop, it would be a good idea to engrave your team number or logo ( or even your sponsors) onto wherever
