Got the robot into the vets office after our session tonight...120 just about on the nose.

We are going to have to lose the battery moving mechanism, and one of the dart actuators for tilting the back lift mechanism. That system didn't really need to tilt in at all, and should be just fine remaining vertical.

That should net us about 8 pounds depending. Then we have to add sensors, numbers...Hopefully we will have enough wiggle room to slip in some LED light strips...We have another vet appointment next Tuesday so we can weigh the robot again then and know if we have to lose anything else.

We are also considering switching over to aluminum bolts, but that would be a bit on the extreme side...
