The prototype 1477 sent us was meant to be more of a test bed than a final product. It weighed over 8 pounds and was designed so that the "top" of the roller claw would be adjustable for different compression levels. They used the lessons they learned from that claw to build another, much lighter iteration. We also passed along some compression and depth numbers we determined using Vex.
