I have two robots, they both weigh 399.0. One is Middleweight and one is Heavyweight. What do?
That's because bots (mostly due to chassis weight) have a hidden, additional decimal on their weight. The MW one is in between 398.95 and 399.00 and the HW one is in between 399.00 and 399.05.
If you want to enter it into a tournament and it's just right at the limit, ask the tournament maker. Usually it will be fine.
My robot has X motors and Y bursts and Z batteries. It doesn't last until the end of the fight. What do?
Add more batteries, or remove some motors. Test the bot's power drain and fiddle with your battery setup until you are happy with it.
Sometimes my robot flies around the arena randomly after a motor falls off. What do?
