Here's my thoughts on this...

as long as it's not a battery(see 2002 rule K9), and what you were using fell under the allowed parts, i wouldn't see a problem with it...however, if you're thinking about using a gear, why not just attach a block of material X(whatever gives you enough weight) to the robot?
