According to our CAD, our drivetrain should weigh approximately 25lbs.

Did you take into account the 5 lbs or so of bolts, nuts, and washers that usually come together with a chassis? As well as each motor's actual weight?

If I'm not mistaken (and I very well may be), the frame will be welded together, leaving the only bolts, nuts and washers on the frame being used to mount the gearboxes and modules. That weight should include motors, but in the event that it doesn't, adding the weight of 4 CIMs to the 25lb approximation would put it at just a little over 36 pounds.
