If one week and a day are "late in the game" then we are ALL doomed.

Never underestimate what a group of determined people can accomplish.

A possibility for lowering you CG is to put the motor that moves the "shoulder" lower on your robot and lengthen the chain that runs up to the sprocket. You could do the same thing with the other joint - move the motor closer to the shoulder and run a longer chain (or perhaps a timing belt).

Of course, you could use OUR favorite option... PNEUMATICS!
