Part 6/x
Having 3 weeks til the event, I've started gutting the Wiis, up to 6 so far out of 30 intended.
Took a couple hours to get this far, the hardest part being getting the rubber feet out.
My calculations were generous at 550 grams, so the total seems to go a couple tens above so far.

Part 5/x
After determining the peli 1615 flight case as the solution i had to go for to make it all work, having found a good deal on those, and worked out the terms with the Teaghlach TO, I went for it.
In theory, at least by volume, it could even fit 32 Wiis, 4 rows of 8 on top of eachother.

First time running the Melee local on full usbC power!
(Possibly the first?)
Used a single one a couple times already and tested all components at home to be sure, so I'm pretty confident!
