All together that's 58lbs of your allowed 120lbs just in mobility(basically half of your robots weight). That's not even counting the frame, electronics, or any scoring mechanism. I recommend that before you take on small challenges such as "How do we connect this wheel to this gearbox?" you rethink whether or not its worth it.

As you can only hold 3 balls your intake and shooting mechanism, should they decide to go that route, won't have to weigh that much and they should be able to get everything under weight. Its just going to take allot of planning and proper implementation.
