There are many reasons that a robot may weigh 120lbs, particularly if it's a forklift and needs a counterweight.
As for a 20 foot robot, one prototype 2789 is working on involves the most distant ends of our robot being 22 feet apart at match start. And, it has a valid strategic purpose. After we are done with that strategic purpose, the robot's envelope is reduced to 27"x42".
I'm going to botch the quote, but like Morpheus said in the matrix: "Free your mind."
