You may use no more than approximately 100 lbs of wheels.

I'm mildly concerned that you're relegating the vast majority of the FIRST community to better than nothing status or presumably worse. I think perhaps what you meant to say is that low goals can also offer a good points scored per effort expended if you can't manage high goals. If your team doesn't have the resources or expertise to make a successful high goal robot, then design within your available resources is the correct engineering decision. Try not to insult insult teams that are making design decisions that are smart and correct for their situation.
