After a short time period the team reweighed the robot and miraculously now met the weight requirements! As to what they removed I had no idea – could have been weights or the shooter mechanism.
Or it could just have been the battery. That would match a "miraculous" 13 pound difference. It's possible it was merely accidentally included during the first weighing.
