To get rid of wieght. First don't build something that will have alot of wieght


Everything you put on the robot have someone look at it and see if there is another way of doing it lighter.

We used it put holes in our robot many years ago. But now we make sure what we put on the robot is the best wieght we can come up with.

we run with track. within 3 years we took out 10lbs just in the track system. this is because we figure a life span of a 1000 hours. after that we have to go in and start changing things.

if you give us more information about how your robot looks or going to run I bet we could help you out alot more.
