Re: Building a claw post-ship
Eric,
Which note are referring to? The sentence immediately following R24 is cut and paste from the manual. The 'please note' is mine. when the manual speaks to upgrade parts I believe it is referring to your decision to beef up a part on a mechanism you designed and built prior to ship but now have second thoughts about.
This also follows R24...
The primary intent of this rule is to allow teams to withhold the ROBOT control system, the OPERATOR CONSOLE, and selected relevant subsystems and access them after the shipping deadline. This will allow teams to have the maximum time possible prior to each competition event to develop and complete the software for their ROBOT while maximizing the potential capabilities provided by the control system.

Emphasis mine.
