Been there, done that, decided to do it different this year.
Gave each sub team (drive platform, shooter, ball picker-upper, electronics, etc...) a weight limit, and they need to do whatever necessary to stay under their weight. Sub teams can give up weight to another. This plan also helps keep a handle on center of gravity - not as critical as last year, but that ramp is steep.
Oh, we'll likely be a bit over this year, but we'll find that 2 or 4 pounds somewhere. Maybe fill the hollow stuff with helium...
