Maybe that's the idea. A heavier robot would be harder to launch up, thus teams can't simply shoot a piece of fin-stabilized piece of aluminum box tube at the trigger

. that would be a hazard, not a miniature robot.
NOTE: I am aware that this situation is a bit extreme, but it illustrates the point.
