Legal Counterweights

We're looking at our Logomotion Robot for design inspiration and it's been considered to use a counterweight for a trebuchet. We don't want to use dead weight, for obvious reasons. Is there anything (rule wise) against using the battery for this? R5 states cable length, but beyond that, nothing concrete.
