The essential parts (assuming you don't have seconds of everything) such as cRio, can be carried to competition and reinstalled there. Plus a few pounds of "even better' parts for certain mechanisms.

Something to think about, eh?
Not all of us have the funds to create a second robot. Nor do we have the capability to do it within the allowed withholding allowance of creating another complete robot.
