Ditto for weight: build 10# under (accomplished by designing 15# under). That way, you'll come out right at maximum--though having to grab a block of steel might be necessary.
Aim for the simpler tasks. Particularly if you don't have a lot of expertise. Sometimes, a lockdown robot that can score lots of 1-pointers can be worth more than a high-point robot that only works half the time.

With the new perimeter rules the 1" under issues is much less severe.
