We built a prototype, and with electronics and pneumatics it felt like it weighed close to 60 or 70 lbs. We got kind of busy planning for kickoff and didn't have time to actually measure it. We chose to use CIMple boxes because we had plenty laying around, and the cylinders are 1.5" bore and .5" stroke. It provides enough to get half an inch of clearance, and is capable of lifting 62.7lbs per wheel, to account for where the center of mass ends up being and if the robot has to lift weight, like last year.
