That is exactly what you should have done. No question. You gotta do what you gotta do to play by the rules. Playing overweight is flat-out unacceptable.
By the way, we had to remove our compressor, too. It sure is harder, but we get by.

I agree, there is nothing wrong with using aluminum sprockets as long as there are enough teeth engaged (i.e. big enough and enough chain wrap). Our arm has a 60 tooth hubless aluminum sprocket that we got from a snowmobile parts distributor out in California. We even drilled holes in that! If has got to be the coolest thing on our robot.
