We weren't really realistically looking for a 1lb bot. We are thinking crazy light, and if you don't need a control system (NXT), and just have a switch make it go, that reduces a lot of weight.

The reality of the rules is that one motor and one battery (the minimum requirements from the rules)weigh more than 1 lbs.

That battery that comes with the kit is crazy heavy. I was shocked at the size and weight of all of it. We have a highly affective Lego team and we are going to bring that group in to help build the mini bot.
