this number is not the max weight of the robot, but rather the force the robot will create at the wheels (at this speed). to find the max acceleration at this point on the torque curve, divide this number by the mass (not the weight), which in this case is approx. 4.13 slugs. this will give you an acceleration of 2.73 ft/s^2.
