I don't wanna read 200 inane posts about a few dozen topics to talk about how to build a 90 pound robot. I frankly am struggling to figure out how to shave 15 pounds off the 2013 robot, 25 pounds off the 2012 robot, 10 pounds off the 2011 - and my team builds light, minimalist robots. 90 pounds terrifies me.

Anyone got any ideas? The control system is a relatively large chunk of that weight. Colsons are a no-go since they weigh much more than other off the shelf wheels. Steel gears? No way. If the weight limit really is 90 pounds, the game could be as simple as Lunacy and this would still be a very significant challenge for every team.
