Re: Box size

The weight of the box depends, of course, upon how it is built. I have seen crates that weight 400 pounds by themselves.

The box + robot + batteries can weigh a lot, there is no real limit, but the 'free' shipping goes up to 400 pounds. 401 and you pay for the next hundredweight (meaning 401 = 500), and those charges can get into several hundred dollars quickly.

That means it is in your best interest to limit the weight to 400 lbs if at all possible.
