The robot has major mechanisms that are pneumatic. That is they need compressed air. Sure we could force the onboard compressor to keep topping off the storage tank. But for practice purposes why not just run an air hose up from the shop downstairs! Here we are topping off at the robot filling station. Our climber actually works quite well but its success is somewhat dependent on the exact equipment we have to climb on and on the variable abilities of our alliance partners.
Here we have removed the padded bumpers seen in the above shot. That's because we weigh in without them. This is the robot just prior to going on the scale. Can we keep it under 125? Yes....by about a pound.
Perhaps there are some things you simply can't prepare for....
