I am building a robot mobility platform and I need to understand the maximum moment of inertia for all three robots. I thought I would ask here first and if the information is unavailable, then I will calculate and hope that my calculations are correct.  
Thanks,

These values are stored on each robot in `.urcontrol/urcontrol.conf` file. Look for `[Link]` section. Link lengths are defined as a part of `[DH]` parameters.  
It slightly varies over robot generations, so you should download values for robot that you actually use.
