FRA/ Robo Challenge International Featherweight Championships - 1st - 3rd April

Would it help to think of the camera as 120G of public service? Its just dead weight the bot has to haul around and doesn't give me any advantage like extra gas or a bigger motor would.

You can't have been watching my build thread - I added a cunning anti-tyre device so this year I just have to avoid the pit like everyone else.

My issue is more to do with the fact that people get turned back for being a single gram overweight even if it's just a single bolt making the difference. If you can make a case that the camera should be exempt because it gives no advantage I can make the same case about the paint on a robot for example. If we say, allowed for the 2% other weight classes get then fine, but if it's only one robot being given special treatment then I can't say I'd be happy with it. Either everyone gets extra weight or nobody does.
