What's the final weight on that thing? I love the integrated encoder BTW. Is it for CIM speed or rotation?

.43LBS as shown with encoder, the previous design using CIM brush assemblies was .72LBS. This version would be able to handle the power of one CIM motor. Using a single Bag Motor brush assembly for each CIM cable, with both brushes wired in parallel, would have the same surface area as the single CIM brush internal in the motor. Current capacity should be exactly the same as the CIM itself.
