The robot with a battery and bumpers weighed about 120 pounds. We were using 1 battery per match and we were using batteries that were purchased at the beginning of the 2014 and 2015 seasons. We tested this robot in the off-season competition called bunnybot that team 1540 hosts in December.
As for the flipable plates, we kept the section in the bottom corner so we had the ability to add a power takeoff if we wanted to later. It is an inconvenient spot for a power takeoff as it is on the bottom of the gearbox but we thought is was better than nothing.
Here is a link to a step file of the gearbox.
