After cutting as many holes as we could without losing strength, we only lost about 7 pounds. Thats when we decided to take off the lexan around our hopper. The day we shipped our robot, we replaced the lexan with some ... chicken wire (yeah, we're from the south). Actually the chicken wire ended up working better.
