Thanks! Almost ready for SBPLI, working on our tweaks as we speak. The bearings actually cost us only like $1.50-$2 each or something like that since we ordered in bulk. I don't have a weight on each module, but the entire base + all electronics is <75lb, there is 0 turning scrub, and the drop is 1/8 spread across the wheels.

Here is a CAD view without the outter plate
