They also make a 1/2 gallon one but it weighs 5 lbs.
I remember when we were first allowed to use plastic tanks... it changed the game because of the weight issue and the number we could use.

Our rookie year (2012, Rebound Rumble) we used 80-20 to framing, were over 4'+ tall, had a huge 1/2" plywood control board, and topped it off with a center-fed turret shooter that could throw the ball full court (but never hit a basket). We had to "swiss cheese" it to get down to a legal weight, making it even more top-heavy in the process. Since then, we've been using 1/8" aluminum angle and c-channel for structural items (plus this year's KOP for the drive base), and have never had any problem making weight.
