I totally agree with you about the weight being a little too much for 2 people to handle. It's good we have carts and don't actually carry the robot everywhere.
I also think that 130 is just about right to include max.functionallity and still let two people carry it with moderate difficulty. I like the weight limit as of now because it is just enough to let us build what our wild imaginations tell us, yet safe. Reducing might limit us to a lot things, and increasing is a safety hazard.
