Most likely we will need it to overcome the binding from all the cantilevering we're doing. It's also a lot easier to make cheeseholes then to design a mount for the spool without a second motor. The red plate on the bottom is 1/8th inch Al. I'm thinkin we can probably get a good chunk of weight out of that. Plus we're going to cut out a cross bar on the chassis that is redundent.
