useful and stylish what more could we expect from JVN??

OOoh.. Perdy!!!

Looks like a familiar teqnique for us here at 237, for all years except maybe this one.

Not sure though, it is only week 5 after all. :)

Cheese Holeing - 229 style.
Took 1/3 the weight out. Woo.

Well gee, John, if you hadn't gone and designed that ABSOLUTE HOG of a kitbot chassis, maybe you wouldn't have had to swiss cheese your plates! :p:rolleyes: But hey, at least they look like Space Invaders now. That's good for some cool points.

Definately looks slick....

What is the before/after weight?

Re: pic: 229 - Robot Weight Watchers
 

I still see lost of more room for holes...
but i guess after some point it will effect the strength.

Yes pretty nice. But seriously I think those bearings for skate boards am I worng? Are not exactly high tolerance like some .0001"

Re: pic: 229 - Robot Weight Watchers
 

In the relative scheme of things, those bearings look pretty good. They have metal shields, and they are precision. Whether they are from a skateboard or not, they are certainly better than something like what's in a dolly wheel or like you'd find at your LHS.

Enough with the robots! Would that technique work for ME??!! :)

Very nice looking plates JVN, perhaps we'll take a page from your book since we've got some weight reduction to consider as well.
