Re: weight problems anyone?
we weighed our piece midway through the season and It came out something like

base: 60 lbs
forklift: 30 lbs
manipulator: 8 lbs

we figured we were fine until the friday before ship where we weighed it at a veterinarian's office on a dog scale to find 12 lbs overweight. The next day we had one person with a 1/4 in. drill bit, one with a 1/2 in drill bit, and another with a 27/32 in. drill bit going in a line down the sides of our forklift. We also started drilling into our frame because we figured 80/20 is strong enough to take a few holes in it.

we didn't get to weigh it after we started drilling holes so we're still a little scared about our weight and have a few people brainstorming ideas.
