Oh I don't think you have to do that, just have to apply an asston of force into something. Think of all the videos of Russian tanks throwing their multi-ton turrets 100 feet in the air from the exploding ammo. That's an asston of force.

That all being said though, there is a 30lb weight class

Yes, it does. If you've ever seen the intro to a match on BattleBots, you can see how large these bots actually are at the pinnacle of competition. Last I checked the size limit was something like "it needs to fit with an 8 by 8 foot square" which is very large. Most bots seem to be between 1-2 feet tall and 2-3 feet square. Also, most of them pack extremely thick steel armor. Many carry drum or spinning blade weapons that weigh in at over 50 pounds.
