Re: Drivetrain Weight
In the past our drivebases, with only motors and encoders for electronics (no roborio, battery, PDP, etc) weighed around 40lbs. For the next year and beyond we're looking more at 27-30lbs max as we move to superior manufacturing methods and design choices. 26-27lbs is our target for a WCD, 30lbs for a swerve drive. Figure an extra pound per gearbox for shifting, or 34lbs for a swerve drive and 29lbs for a WCD.
