Well, of coarse I wouldn't have said it like that in real life! :lol: I would have been a little more subtle, and a little more elloquent. :) But juding by your smilie, it seems that you were being somewhat silly, or otherwise acknowledging the fact that I was being a little silly myself when writing that just to give you the feel of how awkward it would seem. :)

Hi, I have another question. I have finished building a robot, and am right now programming it. I believe that I have gotten it to weigh less than 2.2 pounds, but I must ask, do you know what kind of batteries will be used for the robots that will/might be recreated there? Because for my robot at my house I'm using Energizer ultimate lithium

What kind will the competition use? Will they be regular alkaline batteries? Because if those are installed in my NXT, then they might make my robot heavier than 2.2 pounds, and I don't want that.

So do you know what kinds of batteries will be used?

Any robots I build would use a rechargeable battery pack.

Ok. Now, is that about as heavy, or heavier than standard alkaline batteries?

safely, I'd say about the same. I believe they are lighter.

Ok, and I guess that I'll have to take into account that in the real competition that the NXT's will have extra depth added to them? And I will have to work around that so that it will be easy for them (you) to recreate it?

You aren't talking to me are you? Cause I'm making my own program.

In order for your robot to be built, we'd need excellent building instructions, and the complete program.

There is a sumo-building class on the first day of Brickworld. This would be a good chance to have someone try to build your robot. I doubt I'll be able to do it, myself.
