Who said they didn't put whatever extra weight they didn't have already on it on it (via gym weights or whatever)? That's what we did to our '05 chassis when we were testing a 6WD format with it. Just zip-tied two 45's to the top and bingo!
That pushing power is impressive, but I worry what might happen when the pushing (particularly in a head-on pushing match) is just a little bit off center with those omnis in the front...
