(...) All masses in pounds (stupid scale): RCX with batteries = 0.56 - 0.60 (depending on batteries) Two light gearmotors = 0.13 Two "old" gearmotors = 0.185 So an RCX with two motors is between 0.69 and 0.785 pounds. Not a lot of room in there. (...) (19 years ago, 29-Mar-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) 1 pound is not enough. Official "Mini-Sumo" rules allow robots that are up to 500kg (1.1lbs). It's barely possible to make a Mini-Sumo with LEGO.
