3) 59 lbs sounds a little heavy for what is pictured (are you including the battery in this weight?). What kind of material, e.g. wall thickness, is your structural tubing?
The vertical supports in the rear of the frame can be reduced/ be placed in larger increments depending on what goes on top. Also, based on the game, you'd always have the chance of removing the front cross rail and replacing it with an opening.

EricH suggested 1/8" wall tubing, but this was when Rion had a single tier frame (no vertical supports and no top half) so would 1/16" wall be sufficient in this two tier frame?(vertical supports with top half)
