...or, less robot.

Maybe this'll be the first time in our history we don't bother ballasting up our robot...we've done everything from steel I-beams to dumbbells last year (wrapped in black tape to keep with the theme).

Another concern you should have: Will the design hold position after the power is cut at the buzzer? Some designs will regardless of motor, others won't.
