PS. Is that a typo or did I over look the weight change limit?
It's not a typo. Back in 2004, there was a slightly different weight rule: 130 max, battery included (and bumpers, if you really wanted them). It wasn't until 2005 that the current 120 lbs sans battery was introduced. (Either that, or I'm a year late and it was 2003/2004 for the change.) I was basing my estimate on one particular 2004 robot.

And the extra CIM happens to be located in <R52-D>.
