we never weighed it before we added all of the other parts on, but if i had to guess it would be somewhere around 45-50 lbs.
and yes, the offseason miniaturization prototyping helped a lot.

Dillon, Have you had any trouble with the window motors overheating and shutting down? We originally had 2 window motors steering our swerve drive, but switched to a CIM when we had overheating problems.

We thought it might be an issue, but once we started driving around it didn't seem that bad. My guess is that since the window motors don't back drive and we drive around in 6wheel for some of the time they don't get used as much. Also, since the center wheels are dropped it is really only spinning 4 wheels on the carpet at a time. |
