I can tell you 99% of the teams out there have you outgunned at LEAST 2:1 on driveability. Sorry to say but without more power your opponents will have more say in where your robot goes than you do.
It should only take an hour or two to add two more speed controllers, hook them to power, use a Y harness to connect their PWM inputs to your existing drive speed controllers and then bolt two more CIMs into your gearboxes on the Thursday before competition. You don't even have to program anything. If you are short parts or need some help I am sure any team at your competition will jump to help you.

Definitely agree with this. Last year was our rookie year and we did a 4 CIM drivetrain. We also had a very low CG and we were pretty effective at stopping almost any bot that we wanted to. Helped us get picked for elims and helped us get to Worlds last year.
