I am in urgent need of the weight of all the standard knex rods and connectors, gears, large pullys, spacers, and tan clips. I need all of them by tomarrow night if possible. I would measure them all myself but I don't have an accurate scale. I'd prefer the measurements to be in grams or ounces. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

See if one of your friends has a scale? Sadly, I don't think anyone is gonna go weigh like 30 seperate pieces to find out how much they weigh:/ Unless someone already has the weights (possibly gump?)

Gump you were a bit too late. We found a scale in a closet at school and got all the weights ourselves. Now you guys are probably wondering why I needed the weights for the pieces. It's because my friend and I made a robot arm and a gravity for a competition. Both are made from almost 100% knex and they both did extremely well. The robot arm took 3rd and was the only robot arm there that wasn't a kit and the gravity vehical took 1st. The gravity vehical is being redone to make it more accurate for the state competion. Wish us luck!

Maybe you should make a whole new thread that's stickied and just copy and paste all of that into that thread?

I'm also super grateful for you listing all the piece weights. I'm gonna copy this into a spreadsheet that I will definitely use it in the future. (It must have been painful to sort/weigh and count 400,000 pieces...) Appreciate it :)

Even though this string is old... thank you for the weights!

Somebody was selling a few lots, by weight, on eBay and without this I wouldn't be able to figure out how many 8-connectors are in 3 pounds.
