Holy Cows intake questions

Does anybody know the Holy Cows intake weight, we are building a 2nd robot with a similar telescoping arm but our intake weighs it down stopping it from raising.

The intake, not including the wrist gearbox, is 6.2 pounds in CAD. The telescope extension/retraction is powered by a Falcon 500 with a 10.29:1 reduction. The arm rotation is powered by a Falcon 500 with a 85:1 reduction.

While the telescoping arm looks to be a COTS WCP telescope, it was actually modified to completely remove the constant force springs in favor of a gearbox rigged to extend AND retract.

Is it similar to how 2910 did their arm rigging?
