I'm not sure where you got the 28 lb figure, but that is irrelevant. This is one of the lightest swerve drive train that i know of. The point is not to be lighter than a mecanum drive. The point it to out preform a mecanum and try to stay as close as posible on weight. But, in some ways you are right, one of the disadvantages of swerve drive is the weight.
Look at it this way, there's over 15 lbs of motors. Maby someone will point out that there is a swerve that weighs much less, and prove me wrong.
