Anyone got any ideas? The control system is a relatively large chunk of that weight. Colsons are a no-go since they weigh much more than other off the shelf wheels. Steel gears? No way. If the weight limit really is 90 pounds, the game could be as simple as Lunacy and this would still be a very significant challenge for every team.

Could be a tiered challenge like 2007. 6' tall robots can only be 90 lbs, 5' tall robots can be 105 lbs, 4' tall robots can be 120 lbs, or some similar scale.
