Go to Post I love the smell of a upcoming FRC build season in the morning. The sleepless night; the drills; welding; cutting of metal. I wait all yr. for this. - midway78224 [more]

(.30 lbs/in^3 vs. .098 lbs/in^3 Rachel knows these numbers by now ) We took off a handful (literally, I held them, maybe 10?) of bolts and t-nuts, that we had added as spares in our 80-20, and I would estimate it lost us a pound.

The most accurate way I found was to just weigh the base in real life, and assume that weight for that assembly. All other assemblies were a lot closer to reality.
Generally I find that on a 5lb swerve module, which is relatively screw-dense, adding screws and nutsonly adds between 0.25-0.4lbs.
