if thats true... holy crap.
thats just asking for jamming up with the tolerances we can pull out... but heh. btw does powdercoating weight much?

powdercoating is actually pretty heavy... it can add about 3 lbs or so.. give or take (i'm sorry i cant give you an exact number right now), depending on how much of the actual robot we want pink. its a lot of weight to sacrifice, but its well worth it!
