Re: Eyebolt help

That is true, however the specified part is rated at 500 lbs. To me, 75 lbs is not similar to 500. And when you add up to 20 lbs of bumpers and a battery, you are approaching 150 lbs. There is nothing worse than driving around a strange city looking for an open Graingers so that you can pass an inspection. However, you can avoid the whole eyelets thing by having structural members on each side of the robot near the balance point that they can wrap a rope around as per the rules.
