I would assume the number 140 was chosen because in past years, the overall weight of the robot was restricted to 120 lbs of robot+20 lbs per set of bumper. This would just simply be combining the weights of the two components, if, for the purposes of robot sizing, bumpers are technically part of the "robot"(as defined in past years' manuals)
