That should net us about 8 pounds depending. Then we have to add sensors, numbers...Hopefully we will have enough wiggle room to slip in some LED light strips...We have another vet appointment next Tuesday so we can weigh the robot again then and know if we have to lose anything else.

We are also considering switching over to aluminum bolts, but that would be a bit on the extreme side...

Oh that's a shame. I would've liked to see a moving battery in action.
Well, you still have a couple weeks until stop build, so maybe you'll figure something out.
What do you still have to add? just sensors? That's only a couple pounds at most, right?
