Ah ha.. Someone discovered the reason behind the creation of these two threads.

We were almost charged 1,200 dollars to ship our crate back to CT from GA at a buck and a quarter a pound.

Good thing another team let us use an extra airbill they had laying around.

Seeing as our crate alone weighed 130 (?) lbs
cart weighed 90 lbs.
Robot ~130 lbs
Speaker box - 100lbs
Toolbox in the crate.. definately more than the speaker box
8 (or more) robot batteries weigh a bit too.
and other random stuff

So, next year we plan on: A) Redesigning the crate - B) Redesigning the cart - C) Taking less junk and more of what we absolutely need
