We weighed our robot twice so far once two weeks ago, with everything that we thought was going to go on it and we were at about 89LB then we weighed it again on Saturday with everything on it and we were at 97Lb. after we took it off the scale we found out that the battery was in the robot the whole time therefore assuming the battery weighed 15 pounds we estimated the weight to be 82LB, so somewhere along the two week path we lost some weight after we established we have lots of weight too spare we decided to make a few more mechanism for a robot to take up some of that weight, my motto is your given the 120 pounds, you might as well keep adding helpful mechanism until your out of mechanism our weight
