Question: How do I get my bots heavier then 800 kgs.?
Solution:
To make a bot weigh over 800 kgs, you will need to download a custom component called an "anti-ballast" - instead of adding weight to your bot, it takes weight away so you can easily go over the 800kg upper limit. The recommended choice of anti-ballast for many builders is JoeBlo's Weight Makers, available to download from his website.
Remember to remove the anti-ballast or other weight-removing component before you test out the bot, otherwise you may have some unexpected results.
The currently generally accepted overweight weight classes are Superheavyweight (up to 1200kg) and Ultraheavyweight (Up to 5000kg)
