Coming from a close-by team, I cannot speak with certainty of their bot's weight, but their head mentor said at SMR it weighed roughly 117lbs (with everything); In addition my team had bin arms printed out of the stuff, and both arms (which were 100% solid) weighed under a pound .

The key to this material is not just its weight, but rather the complexity and speed at which items can be built. Example being our bin-arm, compared to traditional techniques, printing in the carbon-fiber ABS allowed us to CAD and manufacture a precision part in under a day (without waiting, total time from concept to final product was roughly 3 hours )
