I don't have weight numbers at this point. The chassis itself is one we developed last summer and used this past season. So the only added weight would be the modules themselves.

In this configuration the omni wheels are allowed to ride along on the ground. Adding a spring to pull them up, if this was undesirable, would be a very easy addition.
