And, because it's relevant to this thread, does anyone know Speed Racer's weight? IIRC, Fezzik was 80-something lbs, so if you shipped the bumpers, and you're control board was just the joysticks on a piece of paper, you could probably get a robot and controls in in under 40 lbs.

($5 says that if/when submitted to the Q&A this approach will be deemed against the rules.)
