a DVD of software that will be shipped by NI

Here is the list, I knew about this I just didn't think it would wiegh 60 lbs. Unless they ship the batteries with it so that rookie teams could power the system.
Going by the weights I can find for most of the hardware and some (very) generous allotments for the few things I can't find weights for, this hardware should weigh about 15lbs tops.

Even throwing 2 batteries in with a generous estimate of 15 lbs each should end up with 45 lbs.

What the heck is in this box? Could the box + packing materials possibly add to 15 lbs?

The weights for the cRIO, modules, and Distribution panel came from a seminar given by 1816, one of the beta test teams. Weights for the camera and wireless hardware came from data sheets. I gave the driver station .75 lbs, USB joysticks .4 lbs apiece and was still under 10 lbs before "assorted cables and connectors" and a DVD.
