Just look at all the folks stealing copper wiring and power distribution componets while they are energized!

btw: Some don't live to sell it.
It would be less than $96 for the aluminum, there are other components. The market for speed controllers and robot control systems can not be that big, and that is where the real money would be.

Also some of you guys need to meet some bigger people, I used to carry the robots myself, it definitely doesn't require 3 people to move one. (Especially if it has wheels.)
