OOoh.. Perdy!!!

Looks like a familiar teqnique for us here at 237, for all years except maybe this one.

Not sure though, it is only week 5 after all.

Well gee, John, if you hadn't gone and designed that ABSOLUTE HOG of a kitbot chassis, maybe you wouldn't have had to swiss cheese your plates! But hey, at least they look like Space Invaders now. That's good for some cool points.

Re: pic: 229 - Robot Weight Watchers
In the relative scheme of things, those bearings look pretty good. They have metal shields, and they are precision. Whether they are from a skateboard or not, they are certainly better than something like what's in a dolly wheel or like you'd find at your LHS.

Re: pic: 229 - Robot Weight Watchers
Enough with the robots! Would that technique work for ME??!!

Very nice looking plates JVN, perhaps we'll take a page from your book since we've got some weight reduction to consider as well.
