| Frame | 1 | 857.29 | 857.29 | 100% |
| Ultrasonic Sensor | 1 | 8.5 | 8.5 | 10% |
| PCB (HC-06 & Arduino) | 1 | 30.76 | 30.76 | 100% |

| Grand Total (Grams) | 1437.95 | 68% |
The table above shows the data for mass of this year’s µBiPed project. The mass values obtained from data sheets are given a 10% margin of error. The frame’s mass is assumed to be an Aluminum build. Therefor, the mass may change drastically if a different material (polylactic acid) is more viable. The PCB mass is unknown, and was given an arbitrary value based on the components on the actual board. To account for different mounting methods, servos are given a 20% margin of error. This may change if custom flanges are utilized.
