My angle was, I built the thing surely I can lift it.... obviously not 
true:-(

I would say between 45-55kg so like about 95-110lbs, it's funny how plywood 
can weigh so much... My tiger is going to be getting a second battery soon 
so there's another 15lbs. Yeah these beasts seem to be heavier than they 
look, the first thing people say when they see my tiger in the flesh, is how 
much bigger it looks when you actually see it not on the net. Of course 
filled with pride I tell them to try and lift the thing, usually followed by 
a quick "people who waver the right to sue say what?" and then they usually 
say "What?" then you go swweettt...

Na my backs fine, though lifting 100+lbs with your back off the ground is 
probably not a good idea. It's not so much the weight but the awkward shape 
of the thing...
