Re: We're trying to lose weight...
Does your team have an air compressor on your robot? If yes you could consider removing it if you can find a way to have enough air for an entire match stored in your air tanks. Also you may want to consider removing air tanks if possible.
Another thing you may want to consider if you are using an Andymark toughbox or an Andymark supershifter is converting the large spacer block to aluminum standoff spacers.
If these solutions do not apply or are not sufficient enough, to help us help you can you please post a picture of your robot so we can see what other lightening options are available?
