How much does this weigh?
It came in around 100 lbs. The 80/20 extrusion is quite heavy.

So each module is driven by a window motor for turning? Since we only get two of the Denso motors in the kit (in past years), what motor is turning the other two modules? From the picture it looks like you are using four window motors.
This is not a FIRST robot. It was built to a customer specification. As a result they chose to use four AM Equipment motors. They are very similar to the kit motors.

AM Euipment Window Motor

That said, the steering modules pictured are designed to interface with either kit window motor or a globe motor. These will most likely be a part of our FIRST product lineup for 2010.
