Talking Re: Under or over weight?

The kitbot transmission and chasiss really helped us out with a fast start on designs and weight. The nearly complete robot is in around 75 lbs. We are very much a single function robot with only a two segment arm at this time. We are using four CIM with a four wheel drive and then a window lift motor with a roller chain gear reduction for the arm. If we add a pnuematic extension to give us more reach we will be over a 100 lbs and closing in on the 120 limit.
