This is why it's an engineering design challenge!
If you want it to be easy, go do battlebots  .
Besides Jeff,
would you really WANT to give Wildstang 6 more lbs of aluminum?

Exactly... no matter how much FIRST would increase the weight limit (or lighten batteries, as the case may be here), people will still complain that they need more weight to work with, because they didn't budget their weight, or are trying to do something too large and complex. Being able to fit everything into the constraints is just part of the challenge of FIRST.
