We haven't done an official weighing, but expect to be right around 110 per CAD (it was within a pound accurate last year). The flaps are made from alumalite, which is basically corrugated plastic with aluminum faces -- stiffer than lexan, yet lighter. Boom done was certainly an inspiration to our design, but we modified the way we get the arm shot and the gear ratio substantially. The flaps are inside the perimeter at the beginning, but fold out for the match. (Haven't decided if we will make them able to fold back in during the match or not, likely not though.)

It's 8wd, not 6 or 4; I detailed it in the above post. Incredibly stable and accurate with driving.
