Saving weight on the code

I found that you can cut down the weight of your robots code by simply removing all the comments in your program. Find every instance of a line with an apostrophe before it, and delete it. I cut 2 pounds of my robots weight last year by doing this. Also, the drivers dont really need all 4 joysticks -- one joystick and a wire was good enough for us - 3 joysticks weighed alot, but now we have room for more helium baloons. At last count, we weighed in at negative 4 pounds.
