What is wrong? [HELP]

Our final, final robot weighs around 85 pounds, WITH the electronics. For years, 256 has had to swiss cheese our robots to make the legal and under the weight limit, however this year is different, and we didn't do it on purpose.

I don't think we forgot anything:

-Sturdy drivetrain
-sturdy frame
-articulating ball shooter
-accurate bridge actuator mechanism
-very well working ball intake
-very well working ball elevator

What I don't get is how we have managed to come under weight. It is our first time making a custom chassis and superstructure, but I didn't think that could loose us so much. I'm afraid something on our robot is under-built, and too weak, but everything is stronger than me in some cases.


What should I do?

Our scale works perfectly, and since we were also unsure, we used another one we never used before and got the same weight
