That robot weighs 120lbs.
Could the tube support more weight? Probably.
Would I put more weight on the tube? No.
You don't want to risk popping the tube. As pictured, the tube didn't seem close to popping.

The tape reads 5" at the bottom of the base. The wheels are the lowest, they're at 4.5"


Also, we used the 2005 robot because the base is very flat and distributes the weight of the robot fairly evenly across the tube.
