Re: What tool are you using to make weight?
i dont know what our weight is now, but i know its going to be too heavy (5-10lbs over) with 9 motors :S, last year we were 5lbs overweight before competition
some things we found helpfull:
circle holes in your lexan electronics board, underneath rc / breaker panels :'(
saw off ends of long bolts
shorten your 6gauge leads going to switch and breaker panel
and we managed to be 119.95 lbs when we got to the regional with stickers.
