Keep in mind though, that sometimes it is not worth it to drill 1,000,000,000,000,000... holes in your bot, or any other component for that matter. I say this, not because it doesn't take weight off, but that the amount that you would have to drill to make a sufficiant dent is impractical. Sometimes your better off playing with different materials (like u said delrin).
