Have you looked any further into why the steering was heavy? This is the sort of thing that I question when design judging, and relatively few teams have good documentation of their design/analysis/testing process for the steering system.
While I personally dislike really tiny steering wheels, simply increasing the diameter to reduce the rim force may actually be a patch on a bad steering system design?
