Design recommendations

So this year the Pigmice are shooting for changing how we design our robots. Last year is a perfect example of why we want to change. The robot was the most complex on the field, and it weighed 19.99 pounds (actual weight was probably 120.3).
The robot is shown here.

Although everything worked and we almost won a regional, I'd like to see us take a different approach. Specifically "Simplify and add lightness".

Any ideas on how to approach this.
