That's approximately 4200 holes with a 0.5" diameter, assuming the material is 1/8" thick. Better get busy, and I'd get a few extra bits as well.
A better option is to take a close look at your robot and figure out where you have large areas of material you don't need or where you can use thinner material. A spreadsheet listing all of the weights of the parts can be very helpful here. It can identify the "heavy hitters" so you know where to start looking early.
