Minibot climb rate

[Travis Hoffman]

I just received my (free, with hundreds left in stock - I will not be providing details [again] - search for it - I feel like Gary and Eric now) FIRST Choice FTC Mini Kit. Rushing (imagine me doing that) back to one of our labs, I measured the following weights for the FTC DC motor and battery pack:

Motor: 210.35 g
Battery Pack: 599.69 g

What are these strange Copiolian measurements of which I speak?

Motor: 0.464 lb.
Battery Pack: 1.322 lb.

Also, enclosed within my effectively-packaged AndyMark box was a sheet proclaiming a 30% discount on additional *in-stock* TETRIX parts for FRC teams via www.legoeducation.us/FRC. No blar comments from the peanut gallery - this is one thread that hasn't given me a headache yet.
