Re: Minibot weight?

Battery + motors + as little else as you can possibly manage.

Another consideration besides weight is normal force against the pole -- enough to get good traction but not so much that it adds much torque. This is a CRITICAL consideration, if our fooling around (erm, I mean, prototyping) means anything...
