It weighs about 10 lbs including motors and transmissions. We planned for the weight from the begining because we knew the claw needed to berobust enough to take direct hits fromother robots. We could have shaved weight out by making it from 1/8" instead of 3/16 but we had prior experience saying that you can never have enough robustness for a claw.
