A "dead" axle is where the sprocket is attached directly to the wheel, and bearings are on the wheel. The axle doesn't spin.

Ah. Ok. That makes sense. Our robot last year had dead axles. Thanks for the explanation.

The difference between dead and live
Dead is where there is a bearing in the wheel and it freely spins on a shaft.
Example 1 - Wheels freely spin on the axle and power other wheels through sprockets which are connected to the wheels.
Live is where the wheel has some sort of spline (such as key) or hex so that the wheel turns the shaft.
Example 2 - The Gearbox powers the shaft through sprockets, which turn the shaft, which turns the wheel aka "Live" Axles.
Weight is found by going Evaluate -> Mass Properties. But you have to set your material on the feature tree. If you confused on material, just plug in aluminum t6 6061.

Ah. It says mass is .50 pounds... (Akash beat you to the material.
