How did you guys get that to weight only 85 pounds?!
I see aluminum on board?!
Everything was made to be as light weight as possible. Since we used epoxy instead of bolts we save weight there. We started making our ball picker upper today and fabbed up some more stuff and we are at like 91lbs now. Our electrical stuff is all mounted on polly carb boards.
