Trust me, come competition time, you will still be at least 1 pound over weight even though you have an extra 3 pounds to work with.

Luckily, this is not a problem, because it is very possible to remove as much as 4 pounds from your robot by drilling holes in non-structural components. This is probably the coolest part of the project, carefully swiss cheesing your bot.
