Re: Our Robot weight woes.. to rebuild or not to rebuild

Hmmm - it does not look crazy heavy. Are you sure your scale is accurate?

Are those plates on top solid material? Do they need to be?

Are the vertical support pieces solid? Will lighter extrusion work?

What are the red things in the middle?

Is there any steel on the robot? Can you substitute aluminum of similar dimensions?
