: is it a good or bad idea:
: if you're tight on weight, just drilling holes in all of your stuff so it doesn't weight as much, suck as drilling holes in the claw that picks up the balls, or something like that?(just in preparation...

)
this totally depends on your individual robot. If you built your structure out of 1/16" aluminum and it has some structural funtion I wouldn't drill it. If it's not structural or has a lot of built in overkill in regard to strength-drill away.
