There's a bunch of weight that can be dropped in terms of motors/gearboxes, if needed, that I already mentioned to Tag and his team. Plus, there are now smaller mecanum wheels available which weren't revealed when this was being designed. That could help reduce the reductions needed as well.
I trust they know what they're doing
