How heavy is your robot?

There’s no real reason behind this, it’s just fun and curiosities sake. I’d think that quite a few teams have (mostly) finished bots by now, so it would be cool to see how hefty everyone’s (VRC) robots got.

Last I checked, my teams weighed in at 16.7 lbs (7.6kgs). Ours has 8 motors, but is 95% aluminum.

heavier than it should be

The last time I checked, I was ~15.7 lbs, the average vex robot is probably going to be around the range of 14 - 17 lbs

10-15 pounds. I have never weighed it.

20-ish pounds? Don’t even know the exact weight, I just know it’s way too heavy

28lbs is pretty crazy!

I learned my lesson with heavy, underpowered robots during tower takeover. That bot was probably ~20lbs but had two motor drive. Could barely make it through 1 match before the motors went into thermal shutdown.

So this season, we made sure our bot was as light as it could be, which is infinitely better.

Yeah it was a pain to transport to matches. We had a 6 motor drive though, so we were actually decently fast.

why we were 28lbs

Probably 20-25 pounds

bout 25 lbs because no aluminum parts available

our alliance team built a tank bot using 16 wheels and it weighed in to like 80 pounds, it even pressed into the arena floor and nothing could push them.

Never have weighed it, but just by carrying it around I would guess over 12 pounds.

Jeez I thought ours was heavy at 17.8 lbs.

Is it just by itself, or when we are carrying 2 mobys? When we have two mobys (One modified why a bunch of steel, so extra 5 pounds), it can be around 30 pounds, ( I will try to get a picture next week).
