You'd be surprised with the speed holes. Last year we removed almost 20 pounds from ours, granted we had an 18' telescoping boom made of 1/8 aluminum box tubing, but still, it adds up, every little bit counts. And the thinner lexan is a good point, thinner everything will work really, we cut alot of weight a few years ago by going down 1 size in all the PVC tubing we used.
Also, smaller/less motors if you can, they weigh a bit.
50 years from now, the FRC will still be waiting and hoping for a water game. That's my prediction. - TheBoulderite [more]
