I don't know that you're doing anything wrong - our drive train, electronics, pneumatics and lift come in at 80-85lbs. We're trying to shave a few off of the lift itself since it's very far forward on the robot, and overall c.g. is about 16" from the floor with only those items.

We've built a rear specialty mechanism that will slightly balance the c.g. out, but it's still pretty high and forward.
