For the future, you should remember to plan out your weight from the beginning of the season and the design process. Allot for the drivetrain, the electronics, and everything else you're planning to add. Try to keep the estimated total around 100 lbs because you're always going to end up needing extra weight in the end. (:
For now, if removing the unused modules is only saving about a pound, you should work through the entire robot design with the team and see where you can save weight.
