Need component weights for simulation

[Fritzoid]

I've been working on a Robonova simulation using Microsoft Robotics Studio. So far I've created all the necessary meshes using Blender and I'm in the process of constructing the physics primitives. Once the work is more or less complete I will be happy to share the files.

So far I have been able to get accurate dimensional data from my assembled robot but I cannot get good weights for the individual parts without taking the poor guy completely apart!

So, I'm looking for someone who might have access to an unassembled Robonova and a scale. It should be a simple matter to weight the individual parts and tabulate the results.

Front chest plate = 26g
Rear plate = 30g
Servo side bracket = 2g
C bracket = 6g
Servo-full mod = 50g (largest servo case mod)
Servo deep mod plate = 6g
Servo flush mod plate = 2g
Servo control board = 2g
Servo motor = 16g
PWM pot = 2g
Servo gears and case = 12g
Plastic hand = 16g
hand bracket = 6g

Thanks Dirty,

I should have a screen shot to post soon!

I've been starting to think about the control logic for the simulation which is, at this point, a completley blank slate. Parsing and processing all of RoboBasic is overkill (and alot of work) so I'll probably limit the command set to SPEED, MOVE and WAIT. Alternatively, it could use KONDO-type motion files but I don't have any experience with these.

Any thoughts or suggestions by interested roboteers would be appreciated.

I'm very interested in your project and look forward to seeing the results posted here. You're right, simple is better. I believe there's a posting where someone developed a similar simulation. That may offer some ideas.
