Re: How far overweight are you?

We just weighed or robot tonight and we are at 100 lbs. With the extra weight, we're planning to make a simple mechanism to knock down the hanging tetra

None. Ours is anorexic at the moment. Lets see if the building people can come up with a simple tetra-knockdown mechanism.

Over Weight. What else is to be expected? There is still time for the diet team to perform miracles. Meanwhile I still keep adding parts.

Re: Under or over weight?

Our robot weighed 30 pounds underweight when we last weighed it. So we will definitely put counterweight on our arm.

Re: Under or over weight?

Well, our final weight is in. We finished our robot this morning at 12:30AM. At our Practice competition we weighed in at 134 pounds. Thats without the battery. So in the next two days we need to drill 14 pounds of holes.
