Re: Got Weight?
Last year we were about 20lbs overweight. Its supprizing how little material is really needed for structural stability. We removed 8lbs of aluminum from our arm- boy that was a long night. We also replaced about 5lbs of steel bolts with plastic ones. They really dont come close to reaching their yeild strength.
This year, thanks to keeping track of the weight as we built, were at a cool 90lbs!
