Yea, that was us in 06 . . Lots of holes in lots of 1/8 in. Lexan.
The team found out that a UPS store scale is not very accurate @ 120 lbs.
We got a good digital scale the year after that. I think it ended up being about 20 pounds overweight. Removing the pneumatic system improved it significantly, the rest was hardware/holes.
In hindsight, the construction method for our hopper that year made it a bit heavy. (1/8 in. Polycarb where 1/16th would suffice).
