I seem to remember 75#/person on a 2-person lift having been cited on occasion. With battery and bumpers (15# each), robots are right at 150#, and a 2-person lift means that each is lifting 75#.
Door limitations is correct; I now recall that the previous size was 36" x 36" base, which won't fit through a lot of doors. So they lost 6" on one side. Then they changed it within that. You never know what they'll change next...
