Unless you have a good reason to be light, like getting picked up.
I agree as well. You don't want to be pushed around while trying to score.

As for being a benefit to those alliance members who are going to attempt to lift you, I feel like most teams are making mechanisms which are going to be able to handle a max weight robot anyway, so those extra pounds probably wouldn't matter all that much to them anyway.
