: All the other robots I know are hacking themselves to bits in order to make weight and what is that I see on your robot? BALLAST! Yes, I think so, aluminum rods about 2 inches in diameter right there in the middle of the machine.
Yes, Joe, thats what it is. Ive been told it weighed in at 97 lbs before we added those.
