You wish. Actually, that only comes to about half a pound.
Anyway, our frame currently weighs only 11 lbs. But each gearbox (there will be two) weighs approximately 14 lbs including motors. Each joint of the arm weighs about 12-13 lbs including motors. Then we have to add wheels which are 5.5 lbs for all of them, then axles, pillow blocks, sprockets, chains, electronics, pneumatic tanks, the actual pieces of the arm, something to mount the gearboxes on, some lexan for electronics and a battery mount.
I have no idea what we will end up at. I know we will be close, but I don't know if we'll be over or under.
Perhaps we should pile everything (I mean every thing that is going on the robot) in a big box, and head down to the local pet hospital to borrow their scale.
