You don't experience the same problem I showed if you use HP instead of IT:DR.

Yes, IT:DR is problematic.

Yes, the Healing advantage and Healing college both scale with increased HP.

It should have whatever weight a robot should have and HP based on 4 X (cube root of weight lbs.) rounded up

It should have whatever weight an elemental should have and HP based on 8 X (cube root of weight lbs.) rounded up. Assuming a Homogenous or Diffuse elemental.

When using HP, use half HP.

ST = HP????? For Objects??? Can I get a source for that? On page 558 under Object Hit Points Table it says:

Optionally, calculate HP as 4 X (cube root of empty weight in lbs.) for Unliving objects and 8 X (cube root of empty weight in lbs.) for Homogenous or Diffuse ones. Round up in both cases.

"If the target has no ST score at all (like a wall), or is not resisting,
use its HP instead" Basic page 378, so yes massless would effect knockback.
