Are we allowed to use old hard drives as counterweights to stabilise our robot?

The question was asked. The GDC gave their ruling. If you don't like it then maybe you can run your own tournament and let people ignore your rulings. - Daniel_LaFleur [more]

Too late now?

Head on down to the auto shop and have someone cut off as many of the appropriate lengths of leaf spring as you think you might need. Drill holes for mounting brackets and dangle as low and as far from your elevator as possible. There are also some equally dense but geometrically challenging metal parts in the auto shop. Remember if you cut them they're not COTS.
