Re: pic: 4wd Geared WCD

It's also possible that Inventor is giving you a weight for solid Alu CIMs. Try unenabling any COTS or premade parts, and letting it give you a weight for only the drive base. Then add in everything else. I've found that with that method, Inventor is never more than 1/8th of a lb off, even for our robot this year. Good Luck!
