Re: Got Weight?
We took off about 20lb in 6 hours on sunday... it was quite the feat, but we learned some interesting things...
Like did you know that it takes 6 2"dia holes in 1/8" lexan to take out 0.1lb? And that 3 1 1/2" bolts with their washer & nut weigh 0.1lb? But it takes 50+ 1/2" holes in 1/16" alumnum to take out 0.1lb! Thats a very overworked drillpress! We took out as much unnecessary support, bolts, lexan, steel plate, etc as we could. Ashley kept track of how much we had lost each half hour, and it was cool to see the giant bucket of parts & hacked off pieces in the end. Now our poor little robot is all skin and bones!
