Guys, a quick poll,

how much in your opinion weight a doberman drone?

Maybe 150 to 200 pounds, I'd say.

[JoeNapalm]

Oh, I would have to say around 100lbs.

Isn't that TALON small sized drone? Doberman is medium sized. I'd say that Aztechnology Crawler is about the size of the thing you presented.

[Charasanya]

I would guess its more, medium drones (theoretically) can lug around some pretty heavy equipment, like troll sized rigger cocoons (though I have to say, thats kinda pushing it), so I'd say about the size and weight of a moped or light scooter is probably more realistic. My guess is close to 200 pounds.

My snow blower is the size of a small drone if you discount the handlebar.

It's also damn heavy. Takes two people to lift it into the back of a pickup truck.

Yeah, the TALON is probably small.

A motorcycle is around 300lbs, but varies wildly. A late-model Harley Fatboy is like 700lbs.

A drone would be made as light as possible, using advanced materials, but that would be limited by armor and weapons (which are gonna be heavier than normal materials) and cost (lighter = more expensive).

So, yeah...in short...that's a tough one.

Maybe we can find a larger current-tech drone than the TALON. Maybe the Big Dog? But it walks, not on tracks...*mutter*...*mutter* *mutter*....

isnt there any kind of mass calculation in rules? like body * x kg? I recall seeing something like that, but maybe it was in different edition or some fan source

Is it wrong that I really want to find that?

I don't even have any drones.

well IMO there are some average weights for metas, not anything for drones and vehicles. Not that it really matters in that specific situation, well I feel 200 KG for dog drone is quite to omuch, dog itself would be something about 70 KGs and it is not build from hitech plastics, ceramics and alloys...

yes but all the armor is made from high density materials witch in fact have to be heavy. so the whole structure must be able to support it, i would say net less them 150 Kg for the drones. 200 might be a bit much thogh

They had weights and cargo capacitiea in previous editions of Shadowrun, but all those were dropped as part of the "streamlining" efforts in 4th edition.

Rigger 3 (pg 62) has this to say for Mass Calculations based on Body stat of vehicles/Drones.

Body Rating	Weight Range	Nominal Weight	Vehicle Types
0	0-5 kg	2 kg	Very small, hand-held drones
1	5-75 kg	20 kg	Small drones, ranging from toaster to dwarf-size
2	75-300 kg	150 kg	Larger drones (hunam to troll-size), motorcycles
3	300-750 kg	500 kg	Automobiles, mototboats under 30 feet long, large fised-wing drones
4	0.75-2.5 tons	1.5 tons	Pickup trucks, SUVs, light trucks, single-engine aircraft, standard helecopters
5	2.5-7.5 tons	4 tons	Medium trucks, small yaghts (30-50 feet)
6	7.5-20 tons	12 tons	Tractors, heavy trucks, Lear jets & twin engine aircraft, t-birds
7	20-30 tons	25 tons	Armored personnel carriers, fighter aircraft,  cargo helicoptors
8	30-45 tons	35 tons	Zepplines, large yaghts (50-100 feet), light tanks
9	45-60 tons	50 tons	Passenger airliners
10	60-100 tons	75 tons	Main battle tanks, long-haul or heavy cargo airliners

Now that is somethign pretty cool
thanks for sharing
