Aren, the first thing that comes to mind when I think of with holding limits are all of the Dumping mechanisms teams brought to the later regionals and championships in 2009.

If memory serves me right, it wasn't all that uncommon to see a handful of teams walk in Friday with a new Dumping Mechanism and Leave Saturday evening with a Shooter. (and in some cases a banner )

I imagine something similar will happen this year, with a lot of teams swapping out claws, arm mechanisms, etc as the season goes on.
