I think the weight could be cut down quite a bit from some sort of lightning hole pattern, I just wasn't motivated to CAD model such a thing!
I've put a lot of time into nonadrives/decadrives or as I like to call them, butterslide drives. I will be presenting about FRC drivetrains at Jumpstart at St. Cloud State University. It'd be awesome if your team could make it there!

I think it would be really cool if you modified this design to be built with your team's resources. Adding constraints like that make these designs much more challenging and in my opinion fun.
