We haven't actually weighed it (scale hasn't come in yet), but it should weigh about 45 lbs.

The lights are four inch LED strips that were gifted to me; they were installed as an afterthought.

Also, I see the tops of the bumpers are held on with clips, are they also supported by the frame elsewhere? And if so, how?

Its a custom third stage enabling us to direct drive the center axle.
The bumpers have sheet metal "hooks" on the bottom face that hook into slots on the drivetrain. The system is not perfect yet; however, a lot was learned and will be implemented on the competition robot.

The current plan is to use an optimized version of this drivetrain for the competition robot this year.
Thank you for your kind words!
