From what I have seen most people are concentrating on how hard it will be to pick up the trackballs. But what about when you have already done that. Depending on how a robot is built, 10 lbs. in the wrong place could cause the robot to tip over. To make this worse, the robot would now be impeding traffic. Even if you don't tip over, you could possibly drop it from unintentional bumping. If this happened, as Jake said above, how long will it take to recapture a trackball after it has fallen (and stopped bouncing). It may even cross the finish line, meaning you would have to bring it around the track before you could hurdle it. Just my take on it.
