Imported Model Motor and how to deal with weight

I'm working on building a 3 lbs battlebot and I need to import a lot of motors and other electronics where there isn't a single material used to make them. I need a way to make sure that I don't go over my weight limit. How do I assign a density to the imported motor? From what I have seen it looks like that may not be possible, at least not yet. What is the next best way to design so that I don't exceed my weight requirement?
It would be nice to be able to select a part and then assign a weight/mass to it without having to calculate the density. For example, I mock up my motor that I purchased then assign a known weight to it.

@john_christensen307 Today we cannot prescribe a density on a grouping of parts. I can add you to the improvement for this capability.Lou Gallo

I wonder if this is something one of the BOM apps could handle?
