If you're only working on programming, I would consider only leaving out the cRio and maybe the camera. You can build a new electronics board that won't go on the robot, therefore it wouldn't count towards your 30 lbs. The cRio and camera should be COTS. The only thing I wouldn't be sure about is the camera power cord, if it's cut. But at competition, you can put the cRio and camera back on and still have most of your 30 lbs to spare!
