Weight wise, you're carrying about 3 small CIM motors with the drive motors attached. Mind you, if you can get the rest of the robot to also fit in the weight budget, I'd rather have the weight in the trannies where it's low to the ground. If not, remove some of the "extra" wall material away from the bearing areas. There's a lot of weight there.
