The claw is currently out of the frame perimeter, but not by much. It's easy to extrapolate where it would be inside the frame perimeter.
CAD claims it weighs 110 right now with batteries and bumpers. I bet it'll creep up to 120 - 125 lbs. We'd like to keep it light so that it accelerates well.

When running our 2009 robot at demos, the student driving the bot noticed that he was getting what seemed like over twice the runtime once fans were installed.
Also, when running practice rounds, the fans make it so we can run more matches per set period of time, since the bot doesn't need to cool as much.
