Re: Tips on loosing weight (Not spam)
67 and 469 routinely make the top half of their robots out of thinwall aluminum tubing. It is VERY light, thin, and strong stuff. Instead of using 1/16 box on an arm, .0200 aluminum tubing could provide a lighter alternative. The warning that comes with this is that you need to make sure you properly design so it is not loaded in the wrong direction. Our entire 2007 double jointed arm was made out of this and it weighed maybe 5lbs max.
