Gorgeous system. We can all learn so much from this drive base. It doesn't matter who built it, students or mentors (yeah, I know some people would complain about it being made by some mentors... but that's not the issue I'm talking about here). What does matter, however, is that this is (nearly) perfect engineering. The West Coast Drive is essentially the penultimate drive base, in my opinion. 254 and 968 have boiled out any unnecessary material and structure.

Hey, while I'm at it, does anyone from either 968 or 254 happen to know how much that base (as pictured) would weigh? I'm doing some design work, and it would be nice to have something to compare to.
