Even if you plan on being light (90 lbs + 10 lbs battery + 20 lbs bumper =120 lbs), "the man" is right that you should assum 150 lbs. as your team may want to add future functionality (reset arm, more poerful kicker...) or may have trouble making it to the designed weight. By the rules though, you shouldn't excede 150 lbs and be competition legal, so that is a better assumption.
