If not I would try to get it to around 40-50 lbs with electronics so you have weight for your scoring system. Also does anyone have any experience with that many motors on the drive since I would think you would pop your main breaker pretty quick.

Another random question, was that a DJI Phantom in the robot video?

That weight is with the entire system save for the manipulator, including all electricals and pneumatics. As far as the number of motors, we have been running it alot, and we haven't had any trouble with current draw.
