I'm thinking about starting a contest to see who can guess the total number of holes in the entire robot.

Just looking at the Open Holes (i.e. not holes with bolts)
4 very large,
356 large,
500 small,

Grand total around 860.

Now counting the holes with bolts (including the mecanums)....

around 1200 total

It is actually 8 very large holes. 4 standoffs with 2 holes on each(if they speed holed both sides).

You didn't by any chance weigh the robot before you cheese holed it did you? That would be cool to see the weight savings.

The holes were not added, they were part of the initial design. It's kind of like a FRC version of an erector set. If something is added to the design we can rearrange structural parts to make room. The whole thing is put together with 5mm socket head cap screws. We can take this whole thing apart and put it back together with a 4mm ball end Allen Wrench and an 8mm combination box wrench. Another cool thing about 5mm cap screws and the 8mm flat-to-flat nut that mates with it is it real close to 5/16 and 5/32 inches. I can pick up any allen wrench and box wrench set and work on this thing. There's no welding involved, you can break this thing down into individual pieces in less than 20 minutes.
