Re: easy way to find your robot weight.
I have been taking a Drafting class for almost a year and a half now, and I have had the opportunity to work with both Inventor and Auto-CAD. To tell you the thruth as far as mechanical designs is concern Inventor is a lot better. Anything you can do in Auto-CAD you can do in Inventor a lot faster and with a lot more helpful tools.
As far as weight is concerned you can always find the weight of things that you downloaded from on-line like motors and batteries and then change its properties in Inventor.
Honestly if I was asked to draw swampthing's robot i would choose Inventor without hesitation. 
Just my $.02
