Hi everyone,

After many years of watching (and nagging from my son) I have finally committed to building a robot.

I apologies if this question has been answered before, but any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I am currently in the initial stages of design for a machine, but curious as to which weight categories are the most popular. From looking around the forum I get the impression that there are not many machines in the middle or light weight categories, but am very keen to compete, but don't want to build something that I can't enter in any match.

I'm not looking to build a heavy weight, so I'm currently aiming for a feather weight machine. Is this a popular enough weight category to guarantee a match?

Cheers.
