Are you worried about weight with an octocanum? Our team tried it a few years back and it was insanely heavy and complicated

I think 488's octocanum should be a bit lighter than that because they are using custom one stage gearboxes, plastic 4 inch mecanum wheels, and their metal for their modules are a bit thinner than ours so I can see this being around 25 lbs.

We're a bit more than 28 lbs., actually. Each module is 5.75 lbs. with wheels, gears, motors, etc. and the frame is 7 lbs. It's close, but a bit heavier nonetheless. There's a fair bit of bulk in the frame where the two halves join together to add rigidity and strength.

Our first foray into the octocanum drive in 2011 -- and one of the first octocanum drives -- was nearer to 60 lbs., so this is a marked improvement.
