Well, your percentage is off - 90% means you'll have up to 13.5 pounds of polycarb and 1.5 pounds for the rest of your bot. As I recall, the battery and motors themselves weigh somewhat over 2 pounds; if you're using the NXT (with it's batteries) would likely push that to 3 pounds total.

So maybe 60-70% polycarb is possible ...

But no, there are no restrictions on how much of any material you can use as long as it fits in the weight limits.

lol, I wasn't trying to get too technical but I should have known better to do that on Chief Delphi.
