The other parameter is the right amount of normal force on the pole- for a 2 lb robot, you want about 4 lbs of normal force to hold the surgical tubing of the wheels to the pole. Too much and the motors are loaded down by friction.
Vamfun did nice simulations...

I do not know the weight but we just had two motors, the battery and a very small frame of flate aluminum with most drilled out with holes to make it light. With out the battery it zipped right up.
