I think what may probably yield a greater weight savings for most teams would be some really rapid finite element analysis of structures on the robot. Its amazing how many robots have such severely over-constructed parts. If we only had a couple of on demand engineers to run the software and a nice farm to do calculations quick, i bet we could eliminate all these overly heavy parts.
