Yesterday we got done cutting our weight down (we were only 5 lbs over), Speed hole like crazy, if possible replace steel with aluminum, cut down anything thats bigger than it needs to be.

Might be some other ideas here

Good Luck!

Were at the same stage, we just removed our turret to drill multiple speed holes to cut down weight. We might have to loose our camera + mount (since it weights quite a lot)

Ours weighed 68 pounds when we weighed it, time to strap on some ballast!

It's 4:00 am on ship day, our robot is about 80% done. I blame it on extreme disorganization in the first 3 weeks of build season above all other reasons, but we started building our robot last week basically o.0

We'll be able to run, though. Although it is 4 am on ship day... the robot works. mostly.

Don't worry, our team is always cutting it close. As long as you have a strong will to build it before it goes in the crate you will be fine. Right now the problem of getting balls to the gun. but we'll have it ready by UCF.......... I hope
