Note: The scores in this table are higher than the scores reported the day of the rally. The original scores were incorrect because the weight of the platform had not been subracted to obtain the true weight of the robot. The platform weighed 7 and 3/4 lbs. The weights of all robots were overstated by this amount. The scale used only provided readings in 8 ounce increments.
