Because some teams drop the extra CIMs for weight, also test the two bots without extra weight to see if the weight reduction changes how our predictions play out. It's possible that the lighter version may still be a viable option, especially for low-weight robots. (I think it will get back some of the lost acceleration, but none of the pushing ability.)
