I was just wondering if anyone knows how much these IM-403s weigh?
Everything else about them seem to be fairly large/heavy duty. 9" by 5"
by 3.5" seems rather large for a wearable, particularly when you consider
that you'll need two 12 volt batteries in series just to power the system
(and possibly four 12 volts in series parallel for the ten hours of
battery life that the MIT people quote as the minimum.)
Just for comparison, what are the dimensions and weight of the "Lizzy" in
its Half Cube case? Thanks in Advance.
