A little further investigation and you will find that the limit is set by weight, and number of times lifted during a day. The 150 lb limit is stretching it but is within the guidlines as I remember. The MK batteries are a slight bit lighter than the Yuasa from earlier competitions. Still 120 (robot) + 13.82 (battery) + 15 (bumpers)=148.82 lb. I am hoping the GDC will allow lighter alternative interconnect cables for all the hardware of the control system though.
