Re: What tool are you using to make weight?

Everything - Primarily, we drilled and/or holesawed just about everything with a flat surface (using four or five different drills). We also used a jigsaw (not such a good idea), angle grinder, dremel cutoff wheel, hacksaw, and files.
Also compressed air and a shop vac, because otherwise most of the stuff we drilled would have stayed on the robot.
All the removed material ended up in a "feel good pile" on a scale so we could see how much we'd lost.
