Added Emphasis here.

The 30lb withholding allowance does not apply to unmodified COTS parts. This means that you can with hold in excess of 30lbs of your robot assuming that you only have 30lbs of fabricated/custom/modified COTS parts (Andy's had me thinking about this for a bit). Not sure what you're looking into withholding, but depending on how it's built and how much is COTS you could withhold darn near half your robot - or at least I know that we could.
