From a designing and robot performance standpoint, this is an excellent suggestion. I could do a lot with some extra pounds to play with. But otherwise, I think its good as a challenge and also for safety reasons.
I second the carrying that weight, its bad enough to work with 130 pounds.

Get steel toed shoes, they make tennis-shoes made with steel toes, I have a pair, sure they're a few pounds heavier but its protected my feet MANY times.

The weight limit is just another part of the challenge along with everything else.
